Habits found in one back street (8)

I believe the answer is:

singlets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'habits' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'one back street' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'single' (synonyms).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'st' backwards is 'ts'.
'single'+'ts'='SINGLETS'

'found in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for singlets that I've seen is " Garments".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
