Crossword Genius

Clothing from Al's lover (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overalls

'clothing' is the definition.
(type of clothing)

'from al's lover' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates anagramming the letters (the anagram comes from the same letters).
'als'+'lover'='alslover'
'alslover' anagrammed gives 'OVERALLS'.

(Other definitions for overalls that I've seen before include "Boilersuits" , "Dungarees" , "Protective wear" , "Boiler suit" , "Save roll (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
