Instant anger of the cloth (5)
I believe the answer is:
moire
'the cloth' is the definition.
(moire is a kind of cloth)
'instant anger' is the wordplay.
'instant' becomes 'mo'.
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'mo'+'ire'='MOIRE'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for moire that I've seen before include "Description of wavy pattern" , "fabric" , "Watered silk" .)
