The famously daft Welshism trotted out at last orders when everyone's grabbing their stuff off the back of a chair. It's just asking 'whose coat is this?' — the 'that jacket' bit is the same garment said twice. Often used self-mockingly by the Welsh themselves, and impersonated (usually badly) by the English doing a stereotype valleys accent.
“Right, time to head — whose coat is that jacket then?”
