unworn clothing

If I am talking about clothing that I own, but am not currently wearing, do I still use the definite article?

For example “La veste est sur le canapé” or “Ma veste est sur le canapé” ?

This question relates to:French lesson "Using le, la, les with body parts and clothing (definite articles)"
