Actually 1+1 means ONE carry on and ONE personal item, meaning a small backpack, a purse, a bag of food, anything other than that ONE carry on you're allowed to bring. 1+1 does not mean two carry ons and personal items. A coat or a book would not be considered into your carry on limit. Anything other than you're ONE carry on (with the exception of a jacket or magazine, book, etc.) is considered another item and is only allowed if it falls into that category of the "personal item" which includes a purse, diaper bag, briefcase, laptop or a small backpack.
