Gear loaded at the outset included traditional clothing (4)
I believe the answer is:
kilt
'traditional clothing' is the definition.
'kilt' can be an answer for 'clothing' (kilt is a kind of clothing). I'm unsure of the 'traditional' bit.
'gear loaded at the outset included' is the wordplay.
'gear' becomes 'kit' (kit is a kind of gear).
'at the outset' says to take the initial letters (the outset is the beginning).
'included' indicates putting letters inside.
The initial letter of 'loaded' is 'l'.
'kit' placed around 'l' is 'KILT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kilt that I've seen before include "Scots dress" , "Part of Highland dress" , "Scottish costume" , "Pleated tartan skirt" , "Tartan skirt worn in Scotland" .)
