One could say "J'ai besoin d'un manteau".

J'ai is the combination of the pronoun "je" (meaning I) and ai (the first person form of avoir, which means have, am having or do have). They are combined with the apostrophe because ai begins with a vowel, and the liaison (combination of sounds), makes the words flow better.

A subject + besoin de + a noun is a phrase which means "I need (the noun)".

"Un manteau" is an overcoat, and once again de become d' because un starts with a vowel.
