Bully with threatening look taking off jacket (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cow

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

'bully' is the definition.
(cow can mean to bully or oppress)

'with threatening look taking off jacket' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (short for with) and 'w' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'co' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cow that I've seen before include "Bovine female" , "Female farm animal" , "Subdue with threats or force" , "female whose homecoming is indefinitely delayed" , "Frighten with intimidations" .)
