Fabric, being dear, replaced (9)
I believe the answer is:
gaberdine
'fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'being dear replaced' is the wordplay.
'replaced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'being'+'dear'='beingdear'
'beingdear' with letters rearranged gives 'GABERDINE'.
(Other definitions for gaberdine that I've seen before include "twill" , "Mac; began ride (anag.)" , "Raincoat fabric" .)
