At weekend, wearing shiny fabric (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satin

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

'shiny fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at weekend wearing' is the wordplay.
'at weekend' becomes 'sat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wearing' becomes 'in' (in certain clothing).
'sat'+'in'='SATIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satin that I've seen before include "Rich cloth" , "Smooth and silky" , "Glossy textile" , "Silk fabric" , "Stain on shiny fabric" .)
