This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Coat, cloke (χιτῶνα, ἱμάτιον)

The former, the shirt-like under-garment or tunic; the latter, the mantle, or ampler over-garment, which served as a covering for the night, and therefore was forbidden by the Levitical law to be retained in pledge overnight (Exo 22:26, Exo 22:27). To yield up this without resistance therefore implies a higher degree of concession.
