Ross

I believe the answer is:

reefer

'jacket?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'something for puffer' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'something' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'reef' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reefer that I've seen before include "pot holder?" , "Warm jacket - cannabis cigarette" , "Double-breasted jacket for a man" , "courses may be reduced by one" , "Kind of jacket - joint" .)
