I was operating under the impression I needed to be in Slut Mode to get into the Host Club as an entertainer as that's the only way Mezz would wear the bunny suit, but I guessed incorrectly it seems. Thanks for clarifying.

No problem. No, the host club is kind of a lure/temptation. If you're still not corrupted at that point, you can fight your way forward, or take the "easy" way through the club. So if you're ALREADY corrupted, there's no need for it story-wise. You can be defeated a few times though, don't worry about that. Just don't max it out so you end up in the stealth section.
That said, that still doesn't resolve the initial bug report. Were you able to regain the jacket once you searched for it?
Yes, I was able to find it. I didn't really pay any attention to that since it was a non issue in a past play through. I previously assumed the sex scene simply stripped Mezz naked. I didn't bother checking inventory until I found myself unable to progress without it. Before, I figured, why would a slutty Mezz care about wearing anything when he didn't in the last game?
