Good man collecting new notes for capital cover (7)
I believe the answer is:
stetson
'capital cover' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'good man collecting new notes' is the wordplay.
'good man collecting' becomes 'st' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'notes' is an anagram of 'etson'.
'st'+'etson'='STETSON'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stetson that I've seen before include "Cowboy wear" , "Hat with wide brim and high crown, maybe a cowboy's" , "Capital investment" , "Hat for country-and-western singers, Texan oil magnates, etc." , "A wide-brimmed cowboy hat" .)
