paintbrush

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

'one may put on coat' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bra thus fixed with pin' is the wordplay.
'fixed with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bra'+'thus'='brathus'
'brathus' mixed up with 'pin' gives 'PAINTBRUSH'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paintbrush that I've seen before include "applicator such as this" , "Artist's tool" , "Artist's applier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
