3 last seen in coat pocket (4)

I believe the answer is:

twee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'3' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'last seen in coat pocket' is the wordplay.
'last' becomes 't' (I've seen this in other clues).
'seen in coat pocket' becomes 'wee' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
't'+'wee'='TWEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twee that I've seen before include "Overly sentimental or pretty" , "Excessively cute" , "Affectedly sweet" , "Overly cute" , "Small and sweet (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
