Top husband loves to pass (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoodie

'top' is the definition.
(type of clothing top )

'husband loves to pass' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'loves' becomes 'oo' (two O's - 'love' means zero in tennis).
'to pass' becomes 'die' (as in passing away).
'h'+'oo'+'die'='HOODIE'

(Other definitions for hoodie that I've seen before include "Sweatshirt with head-covering" , "'Uniform' often associated with ASBO offenders (variant spelling)" , "Form of jacket; youth wearing one" , "Hooligan with a covered head?" , "Crow; cowled youth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
