Angular figure seen in velour homburg (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhomb

'angular figure' is the definition.

'in velour homburg' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RHOMB' is hidden within 'velour homburg'.

'seen' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rhomb that I've seen before include "Figure of four equal sides" , "Crystal with six faces having parallel edges" , "Diamond shape" , "Crystal shape" , "Equilateral parallelogram" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
