Chaps abroad losing the odd schilling (4)

I believe the answer is:

bods

'chaps' is the definition.
(bod can informally mean a person)

'abroad losing the odd schilling' is the wordplay.
'losing the odd' means one should take alternating letters (letters in odd-numbered positions are removed).
'schilling' becomes 's' (abbreviation for the currency).
The alternating letters of 'abroad' are 'bod'.
'bod'+'s'='BODS'
