    Yes, we know what the coat of many colors looked like because there are Egyptian wall paintings from that time showing semitic merchants wearing such coats. They had various geometric designs in colors of red, blue, green, yellow and white, were sleeveless and reached to just below the knee. Here's a picture from a tomb at Beni-hasan: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e20/dei9ychus/benihsan.jpg
