Fibres woven into underwear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

briefs

'underwear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fibres woven' is the wordplay.
'woven' is an anagram indicator.
'fibres' with letters rearranged gives 'BRIEFS'.

'into' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for briefs that I've seen before include "Garments" , "Case summaries drawn up for barristers" , "Instructs a barrister" , "by which privates will be constrained" , "Underpants for a lawyer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
