shaggy coat
Long tangled pelt
A shaggy coat is one covered with long, rough, unkempt hair or fur—the kind that hangs loosely and looks somewhat wild: The dog's shaggy coat was matted with burrs after the hike.
The phrase typically describes animal fur but extends to any garment or covering with a similar disheveled, textured appearance.
