Henry wears tramp's clothing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

threads

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clothing' is the definition.
(I know that threads is a type of clothing)

'henry wears tramp's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'henry' could be 'h' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance) and 'h' is found within the answer.
'tramp' could be 'tread' (I've seen this before) and 'tread' is located in the remaining letters.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for threads that I've seen before include "Fine, twisted filaments" , "Strands for sewing" , "Hardest (anag.)" , "Slang for suits, or fibres" , "makes way so carefully" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
