Crossword Genius

Coat to take to the cleaners (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleece

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'coat' is the first definition.
(I know that fleece is a type of coat)

'take to the cleaners' is the second definition.
(both can mean to cheat or defraud)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fleece that I've seen before include "Swindle - wool removed from sheep" , "Rip off" , "Warm jacket" , "thermal garment" , "Warm coat; swindle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
