Re: Son accidentally damages another child's jacket - liability?

Your son pulling at someone's jacket with that much force for retaliation for a playful punch in the arm seems unreasonable to me - so did the boy give your son a good whalloping or is your son prone to unfitting reactions (or maybe, as happens with plenty of growing boys, he doesn't know his own strength)?

I think the only way you may find the answer to that is to contact the school to inquire about the fight - particularly since you refuse to contact the boy's parents yourselves.
Have you never been in a playground? If someone punches you and you chase them, then if all you can reach is the hood then you pull, it's nothing malicious, it's just a natural thing to grab hold of in the heat of the (generally playful) moment. Stop dramatising it.
