I think this is about a girlfriend who makes him feel way too comfortable, causing him to drop his guard too much and slip up. I also get the feeling that either the girl is fake in her complete acceptance of him (she might be trying to get something out of him--attention, money, etc) or he's just really paranoid that the situation is too good to be true.
In coat-check, you give up what kept you warm outside, just as you let your guard down around people who love you.
Neckrug: a rug is something people walk on, so I think that "cut my neckrug off" means "I covered up sensitive/emotional parts of me in the relationship," probably coming off as a jerk, which is why he would be blamed & scoffed at for being cold.
Neckshirt: a shirt is something people use to convey a certain image of themselves, so "put my neckshirt on" could mean that he gives it all/tries to be the best & attractive to this girl, which could bring about feelings of being failed & conned because he still isn't sure she genuinely accepts & loves him.
