Inveterate (4-2-3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dyed-in-the-wool

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dyed-in-the-wool that I've seen before include "Invariant in beliefs" , "Of firmly fixed opinions" , "Inveterate - they do lie down (anag)" , "(Overly) traditional" , "Retain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Independent.
