As the books describe them

Yes, he was shaggy, all right, but there was a twinkle in his eye that seemed pleasant. The Road to Oz, ch. 1
shaggy but not ragged, being dressed in fine silks with satin shags and bobtails. The Shaggy Man had shaggy whiskers and hair, but a sweet disposition and a soft, pleasant voice. The Emerald City of Oz, ch. 9
He was a big man, with shaggy whiskers, shaggy eyebrows, shaggy hair--but kindly blue eyes that were gentle as those of a cow. On his head was a green velvet hat with a jeweled band, which was all shaggy around the brim. Rich but shaggy laces were at his throat; a coat with shaggy edges was decorated with diamond buttons; the velvet breeches had jeweled buckles at the knees and shags all around the bottoms. The Patchwork Girl of Oz, ch. 10
He selected a costume of pea-green and pink satin and velvet, with embroidered shags on all the edges and iridescent pearls for ornaments. The Patchwork Girl of Oz, ch. 17
in a suit of shaggy pea-green satin The Patchwork Girl of Oz, ch. 28
