Good name in delicate material - have a look! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glance

'a look' is the definition.
(glance is a kind of look)

'good name in delicate material' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'delicate material' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this before).
'n' put into 'lace' is 'lance'.
'g'+'lance'='GLANCE'

'have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for glance that I've seen before include "Swift look" , "A brief or casual look" , "batsman's shot" , "Batsman's stroke" , "Give a quick look" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
