Afternoon all - quick question relating to yesterday's Times cryptic crossword....

Haven't manage to get a copy of todays yet to check answer and this is really bugging me...

Clue was 'Garment of hide' in 6 - second letter an H

Any help appreciated.

I'm rubbish at cryptics but...

Ghillie?

ETA: Ooh, in 6. I'll stay under here

Good thinking - but that is 7 letters - need answer in 6!

Edited to add - stay under there and think of right answer!!!

The only thing I can think of garment wise is khakis. Although how that is hide related I'm not sure.

I can't think of any words using the letters in "of hide" which was my first thought.

Khakis as in camoflauge?

On this train of thought, how about 'Shroud'

[FreeLitres]

Chador? – (Muslim) an outer garment worn by women covering her from head to toe?

shroud?

shroud ?

"hide" may refer to leather.

Chapps?

[dreamz]

maybe its hide as leather... rather than hide as in hidden
