General hat material? (5)
I believe the answer is:
brass
This might be a double definition.
'general' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'hat material?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brass that I've seen before include "Copper-zinc alloy" , "some players!" , "Metal - cheek" , "Instruments, alloy" , "Zinc-copper alloy - cheek" .)
