Jacket falls in Class 25, clothing, and depending on what exactly you sell it can also fall in Class 16 or Class 17 or Class 9. Everything below is read from the USPTO's own list of accepted descriptions, not from an opinion about where it belongs.
Searching the USPTO Trademark ID Manual for jacket returns 98 accepted descriptions, and most of them sit in Class 25. The manual is the list of identifications the office has already approved, so wording taken from it is pre-approved and settles the class at the same time.
The class follows from the identification you write, so "what class am I in" is really "what exactly do you sell". How the class system works covers the rest.

Jacket appears in 4 classes because what you make, what it is made of and the service of selling it are separate classes. Pick the descriptions above that match what you actually do.
Making jacket is Class 25; a shop or online store that sells it is retail store services (Class 35), and a business that does both files in both.
Clothing, footwear and headwear, leather jackets included. Selling clothing is a service in a different class: retail store services are Class 35, and a brand that makes and sells its own line usually needs both.
The class decides what a registration covers; it does not decide whether the name is available. Relatedness is judged on the identifications, so a conflict can sit in a class you never looked at: the same name in a different industry.

You file in every class you actually use the mark in, and the USPTO charges its fee per class. Selling a product and also running an online store for it is two classes, not one. Filing in classes you do not use is worse than filing in too few: an application has to be supported by real use or a genuine intent to use.
No. The class decides what a registration covers. Availability turns on whether someone already holds a similar mark for related goods, and relatedness is judged on what the identifications say rather than on the class number, so marks in different classes can still conflict.
