Vas a comprarte una chaqueta nueva

Explanation:
If the jacket is for him/herself I would say "comprate". If not, "comprar".

In Spain you would say "chaqueta" in general,unless you are talking about a "bomber jacket", a sports jacket then we would say chamarra (but this sounds colloquial)

If it's a suit's jacket it would be "una americana".
