This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat - the inner garment; in pledge for a debt (Exo 22:26, Exo 22:27).

let him have thy cloak also - the outer and more costly garment. This overcoat was not allowed to be retained over night as a pledge from the poor because they used it for a bed covering.
