Keep the coat!
Assuming that you outlive your dog, you will treasure it.
I am slow to learn, but my wife is training me, because every time I tried to throw away some bitten chewed up item (e.g., a plastic beverage cup, etc.) my wife would say to me "Please don't throw that away. I remember when Annie (or Bouy, or Pongo) did that."
Once you love them and then lose them, the things that they touched touch your soul.
