Ruffian seen in jacket, huge (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thug

'ruffian' is the definition.
(both can mean a violent person)

'in jacket huge' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'THUG' is hidden within 'jacket huge'.

'seen' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thug that I've seen before include "violent gang member" , "Hooligan" , "Bully" , "Gorilla" , "Indian strangler - criminal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
