Sporting wear I’d hire, like some coats (4-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wire-haired

'like some coats' is the definition.
(as in wire-haired dog coats)

'sporting wear i'd hire' is the wordplay.
'sporting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wear'+'id'+'hire'='wearidhire'
'wearidhire' with letters rearranged gives 'WIRE-HAIRED'.
