Barristers' wear (4)

I believe the answer is:

silk

(Other definitions for silk that I've seen before include "Item of fine legwear" , "Superior barrister" , "Riding hat covering" , "fine material" , "Barman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
