I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'garment often' is the first definition.
'stole' can be an answer for 'garment' (shawl-like garment). I am unsure of the 'often' bit.

'with' acts as a link.

'fur' is the second definition.

'ripped off' is the third definition.

(Other definitions for stole that I've seen before include "Pinched; wrap" , "Item of clothing" , "Misappropriated" , "Purloined; shawl" , "cover" .)
