Garment unusual in cut (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunic

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

'unusual in cut' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'cut'='incut'
'incut' with letters rearranged gives 'TUNIC'.

(Other definitions for tunic that I've seen before include "Close fitting jacket as part of uniform" , "(Policeman's) jacket" , "Clobber" , "Roman garment" , "School garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News, The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
