African cloth jumper dispensing with fleece mostly (5)
I believe the answer is:
kanga
'african' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kanga that I've seen before include "worn in E. Africa" , "Garment made of cotton" , "Baby whale" , "In the Forest, jumper with pouch that's" .)
