Consequences if I'm seen around wearing shabby raincoat? Scorn, primarily (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ramifications

'consequences' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'if i'm seen around wearing shabby raincoat? scorn primarily' is the wordplay.
'seen around' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'wearing' indicates putting letters inside.
'shabby' is an anagram indicator.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'scorn' is 's'.
'if'+'im'='ifim'
'ifim' in reverse letter order is 'mifi'.
'raincoat'+'s'='raincoats'
'raincoats' is an anagram of 'racations'.
'mifi' inserted inside 'racations' is 'RAMIFICATIONS'.

(Other definitions for ramifications that I've seen before include "Upshot" , "Consequences" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
