Intend to appear in torn apparel? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raiment

'apparel?' is the definition.
(I know that apparel can be written as raiment)

'intend to appear in torn' is the wordplay.
'intend' becomes 'aim' (aiming is a kind of intending).
'to appear in' indicates putting letters inside.
'torn' becomes 'rent' (synonyms).
'aim' placed into 'rent' is 'RAIMENT'.

(Other definitions for raiment that I've seen before include "Wear" , "Minaret (anag) - clothing" , "Clothing (archaic)" , "Something put on" , "Traditional clothing" .)
