serge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'a name that might' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'suit you' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serge that I've seen before include "Durable fabric" , "Strong twilled worsted fabric" , "Twilled woollen fabric" , "Frenchman" , "Twilled fabric; name" .)
