Verb

1. To enclose or encase in a jacket or other covering.
   • 1897, Alexander James Wallis-Tayler, Motor Cars Or Power-carriages for Common Roads

     ...to...prevent...the loss of heat...there is also a layer of silicate cotton or slag wool. This latter material is also employed to jacket the chimney for a certain portion of its length.

A jacket is a type of sleeved hip- or waist-length garment. It is very similar to a coat, and in some instances either term can be used for the same article; but a jacket is generally shorter, ending just below the waist, and often lighter. Some jackets are fashionable, while others serve as protective clothing.

The term is also used to refer to the choli or ravika, an upper-body garment worn with the sari by women on the Indian subcontinent.

A jacket is also the recognised terminology for the supporting legs and lattice framework, generally made of steel, of an offshore oil platform in the oil industry.
