Crossword Genius

Item of clothing or clobber (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sock

This clue is a double definition.

'item of clothing' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'clobber' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sock that I've seen before include "Item of footwear" , "Very short stocking?" , "Strike, hose" , "This partly protects member" , "Hit; horse's leg marking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
