Robbed of a nice warm coat? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleeced

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

'robbed' is the definition.
('fleece' can be a synonym of 'rob')

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

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fleeced that I've seen before include "Taken to the cleaners" , "soaked" , "Shorn" , "like Jacob?" , "Charged (someone) exorbitantly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
