Coat brings strange result (6)
I believe the answer is:
ulster
'coat' is the definition.
(ulster is a kind of coat)
'strange result' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'result' anagrammed gives 'ULSTER'.
'brings' is the link.
(Other definitions for ulster that I've seen before include "Man's overcoat" , "Cloak for an Irish province" , "Loose, long heavy overcoat - rustle (anag)" , "Ancient northern Irish kingdom" , "former province of Ireland" .)
