Garment I made from an animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
coati
'an animal' is the definition.
(mammal of Central and South America)
'garment i' is the wordplay.
'garment' becomes 'coat' (coating is a kind of garmenting).
'coat'+'i'='COATI'
'made from' is the link.
(Other definitions for coati that I've seen before include "wild animal" , "Kind of raccoon" , "Tropical animal" , "S. and Central American raccoon-like animal" , "beast" .)
