Having taken the coat off, got soaked (7)

I believe the answer is:

fleeced

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

'soaked' is the definition.
('fleece' can be a synonym of 'soak')

'having taken the coat off' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'coat' could be 'fleece' (fleece is a kind of coat) and 'fleece' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'got' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fleeced that I've seen before include "Charged (someone) exorbitantly" , "like Jacob?" , "Taken to the cleaners" , "Taken for a ride" , "wrapped in woolly stuff?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
