'having more irregular spots' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'clothes rip when spun' is the wordplay.
'when spun' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'when spinning' mean this).
'clothes'+'rip'='clothesrip'
'clothesrip' anagrammed gives 'SPLOTCHIER'.
