GBS left something warm (5)

I believe the answer is:
shawl
'something warm' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'gbs left' is the wordplay.
'gbs' becomes 'shaw' (I've seen this in another clue).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'shaw'+'l'='SHAWL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shawl that I've seen before include "Wrap for a baby" , "Cover for head and shoulders" , "Loose garment for head or shoulders" , "Baby wrapper" , "Female garment" .)
