The FOM spells it out. Coat has button and stripes. Jacket is "leather".

This is EXACTLY from the FOM that everyone keeps quoting.

Coat:
• Must be appropriately buttoned in
public view


Leather Jacket:
• Black leather jacket with approved
logos embroidered on lining (if
desired)
May be worn for operations within
the domestic U.S. and for operations
between the continental U.S. and
Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, Mexico,
and the Caribbean


Hat:
• With United-issued hat emblem
• Uniform hat must be worn whenever
the uniform coat is worn


So the "hat" is only required with the "coat", which is not the leather jacket. So no coat = no hat, since leather jacket "may be worn".

Quod erat demonstrandum.
