Cases for getting out the sash (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheaths

'cases' is the definition.
(I know this)

'out the sash' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'sash'='thesash'
'thesash' is an anagram of 'SHEATHS'.

'for getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sheaths that I've seen before include "Cases" , "Protective covers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
