Conclusions:

(I) Some jackets are not coats → Not Follow (As all coats are jackets, but we don't have the information related to the rest part of jacket, it can only be possible but not define, there, it is false)

(II) Some jackets are sweaters → Follow (As all coats are jackets and some coats are sweaters. As some part of sweaters is common with coats which whole comes in jackets, therefore it is true.)
