Warm garment to take to the cleaners (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleece

I believe this is a double definition.

'warm garment' is the first definition.
(warm item of clothing)

'take to the cleaners' is the second definition.
(both can mean to cheat or defraud)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fleece that I've seen before include "warm garment" , "Swindle - wool removed from sheep" , "Outer coat of sheep" , "Sheepskin - rook" , "Plunder; charge (someone) exorbitantly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
