Sturdy fabric (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

denim

serge

'sturdy fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for denim that I've seen before include "Twill cloth" , "Fabric used for jeans" , "maker of jeans" , "Tough cotton fabric" , "Hard-wearing material seen in jeans" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Penny Press.
