Boss dropping a pipe by new Bavarian wear (10)
I believe the answer is:
lederhosen
'boss dropping a pipe by new bavarian wear' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'boss dropping a pipe by' is the wordplay.
'boss' becomes 'leader' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dropping' is a deletion indicator.
'pipe by' becomes 'hosen' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'leader' with 'a' removed is 'leder'.
'leder'+'hosen'='LEDERHOSEN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lederhosen that I've seen before include "Bavarian leather shorts" , "pants" , "Short leather trousers with braces" , "German outfit" , "Bavarian shorts with braces" .)
