Hot, one-dimensional bores wear distressed leather (7)
I believe the answer is:
rawhide
'leather' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'hot one-dimensional bores wear distressed' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'dimensional' becomes 'd' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'bores' indicates putting letters inside (to bore something can mean to drill into it).
'distressed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'h'+'i'+'d'='hid'
'wear' with letters rearranged gives 'rawe'.
'hid' put into 'rawe' is 'RAWHIDE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
