Sorry to say...it is completely random. Keep trying.
The Red Coat was part of the Fourth of July items. It is a giftable item and is highly sought after by new players.
The red coat was special loot dropped during the 4th of July weekend. It isn't available by doing regular jobs, you can only get it now if someone gifts it to you.
32 Defense (8 Attack)
As far as I know the Tri Point Hat was being given out during the first roll out of the lottery. At the time you had a very high chance of winning a Canon, musket, red coat, flint lock pistol, tri point hat.... there were about 7 of these items. Mafia Wars may put these items up for sale for Godfather Points in the near future. You cannot get them from doing a job or a loot drop.
Musket with 25 attack and 5 defense saber with 17 attack and 13 defense bayonet with 4 attack and 16 defense flintlock pistols with 14 attack and 6 defense tri-point hat with 8 attack and 12 defense davy Crockett hat with 21 attack and 9 defense red coat with 8 attack and 32 defense that's all that i found on myspace i assume it is the same on facebook i havent found the last one only the 7 they are still being givin away today i found 5 yesteday and 2 today so keep trying for it

The Red Coat's stats are 8 Attack and 32 Defense. It leaves something to be desired as an offensive armor, but it's one of the better defensive armors in the game. This distinction is important because the equipment used by your mafia will change depending on if you are attacked or if you are attacking.Plus, it looks kind of cool, it's semi-unique, and it's one more item on your inventory page. You never know, it might just be that one extra thing that makes someone think you're too well armored to attack.
Check out soap style on line and on Facebook. They can usually find out where to get them.
