The change is due to the gender Le manteau (masculine "le") La veste (feminine "la"). Many languages have the same concordance between gender and adjectives.

    I think it's more about how this doesn't follow the usual rule for adjective agreement. By that rule it would be le manteau blanc / la veste blance, but that sounds weird and un-French I suppose so "blanche" it is. (I don't know French very well so take this all with a grain of salt)
