Garments husband put in closet, surprisingly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clothes

'garments' is the definition.
('clothe' can be a synonym of 'garment')

'husband put in closet surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'surprisingly' indicates an anagram.
'closet' with letters rearranged gives 'clotes'.
'h' put within 'clotes' is 'CLOTHES'.

(Other definitions for clothes that I've seen before include "Togs" , "Garb" , "Raiment" , "Gear" , "Attire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
