Sock threads (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clobber

I believe this is a double definition.

'sock' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'threads' is the second definition.
(both can refer to one's clothing)

(Other definitions for clobber that I've seen before include "Flog" , "duds" , "Hit hard; clothing" , "bash" , "Tackle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
