Current faults in boy's clothes (6)
I believe the answer is:
shorts
'clothes' is the definition.
(shorts is a kind of clothes)
'current faults in boy's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'boy's' could be 'horts' and 'horts' is located in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shorts that I've seen before include "bottom gear" , "Garment" , "Summer trousers" , "Reduced trousers" , "Cut-off trousers" .)
