Darned things in boxes? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

socks

This clue is a double definition.

'darned things' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'boxes?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for socks that I've seen before include "Short hosiery" , "Hits; some clothing" , "usually come in pairs" , "Foot garments" , "Dresses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
