Wasted dosh and got nothing for coat parts (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoods

'coat parts' is the definition.

'wasted dosh and got nothing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'nothing' could be 'o' (looks like zero - 0) and 'o' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'dosh' is 'hods' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for hoods that I've seen before include "US districts" , "They hide the head" , "gangsters" , "Headgear < for criminals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
