The garments of spirits? (6)
I believe the answer is:
shorts
'spirits?' is the definition.
(short can mean a drink of spirits)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shorts that I've seen before include "Reduced trousers" , "Item of clothing; drinks of spirit" , "bottom gear" , "Cut-off trousers" , "Garment" .)
