We receive loads of junk mail at home, including catalogues selling clothes, and I noticed that they never term the name of the item \"short coat\" or something like that - it\'s usually one word, and it\'s two words only if it relates to a detail like \"a hooded coat\", faux fur jacket, trikotajnoye \"knit jacket\"... Coat is more of a long stuff, so I think nobody would say \"short coat\", rather a jacket... I ran this by several \"native speakers\" here (I live in upstate New York), too, ladies and guys, same result. Commercial name will, probably, be a \"jacket\".

Thank you, Shila.
neutral Jack Doughty : As a Brit, I don't know what they say in New York, but I would think a полупальто is a short topcoat which could be worn over a jacket.

it's a term of everyday life, and as such, closely depends on which variety of the language is used - Brit.Engl, Am.Engl. and the area, too. Australians might supply their own term... I'm only quoting what it is in Am. English, catalogues are all-American
agree Alexandra Tussing : also, here in NH it may be called: car coat, peacoat, and duster

Car Coat; Knitwear

Also possibly Carcoat or Car-Coat (hyphenationa now tends to be treated as old-fashioned in publishers' styles).
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tatiana Neroni (X) : Car-coat describes the type, but not the material. Trikotaj is "knitwear", so "knit" should be somewhere in the term if we want to stress it is "trikotajnoye". Otherwise a carcoat can be of woven fabric if leave it unspecified...

agree Alexandra Tussing : we don't really know if this coat or knit or not

sack-coat, hosiery/knitwear

Я могу лишь добавить то, что дает POLYGLOSSUM II (textile dict.):
sack-coat - полупальто,
hosiery - трикотаж

bright-lustre yarn - трикотажное изделие
common hosiery - гладкий трикотаж
fashioned hosiery - коттонное изделие
Еще оттуда же:
knitwear manufacture - трикотажное производство
knitted rag - трикотажный лоскут
