Hardest shape for clothes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

threads

'clothes' is the definition.
(threads is a kind of clothes)

'hardest shape' is the wordplay.
'shape' is an anagram indicator.
'hardest' anagrammed gives 'THREADS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for threads that I've seen before include "Lengths of yarn" , "Strands of yarn" , "lines" , "Hardest (anag.)" , "Slang for suits, or fibres" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
