Murphy’s coat? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jacket

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

This could be a double definition.

'murphy's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'coat?' is the second definition.
(jacket is a kind of coat)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jacket that I've seen before include "Outer garment or casing" , "Record sleeve" , "Blazer" , "Short hip-length coat" , "in which King Edward got very hot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
