Garment some flipping Scot likes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kilt

'garment' is the definition.
(kilt is a kind of garment)

'some flipping scot likes' is the wordplay.
'flipping' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'tlik' is hidden in the letters of 'scot likes'.
'tlik' in reverse letter order is 'KILT'.

(Other definitions for kilt that I've seen before include "Scotsman's attire" , "Scottish garb" , "Scottish costume" , "Tartan clothing item" , "Tartan skirt worn in Scotland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
