Clothes to boast about (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garb

'clothes' is the definition.
(garb is a kind of clothes)

'boast about' is the wordplay.
'boast' becomes 'brag' (brag is a kind of boast).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'brag' backwards is 'GARB'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for garb that I've seen before include "gear discovered" , "costume" , "Dress - clothing" , "Fashion of dress" , "Dress - habit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
