What are those jackets called that you see pictures of the Beatles in?

Question

I've only seen them in black and they are very tight fitting. I think there may be two sets of buttons up the front, and they have very high collars. Also, the character "Jude" wears one in Across The Universe.
I couldn't find a picture except this one, where I think they're wearing that type of jacket: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/Kersten/_401044_beatles.jpg

wendy, I see you are thinking of a different type, that I remember seeing the Beatles in, also. The kind I'm thinking of has a very high collar, like up to the ears. Not a tight collar like that.

This is what I'm talking about (distant pic, though): http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0445922/19240.jpg.html

And here are some that look pretty close, but don't seem to have a name... Just that they're "military": http://www.phixclothing.com/black-military-retro-coat-p-47.html
