Garment with awfully neat crotch (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trench coat

'garment' is the definition.
(trench coat is a kind of garment)

'awfully neat crotch' is the wordplay.
'awfully' is an anagram indicator.
'neat'+'crotch'='neatcrotch'
'neatcrotch' is an anagram of 'TRENCH-COAT'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trench coat that I've seen before include "military-style fashion" , "Military-style garment" , "Military rainwear" , "waterproof garment" , "item of clothing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
