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

'bag' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for nail that I've seen before include "Catch - fastener" , "Fastening device" , "Horny part of the digit" , "Fasten - detect and expose" , "Measure of cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
