Jeans maker Strauss (4)
I believe the answer is:
levi
'jeans maker strauss' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for levi that I've seen before include "Biblical priest" , "Hebrew patriarch - Italian writer" , "Priest of the ancient Jewish Church" , "Primo --, Italian writer and chemist" , "Jacob's son (OT)" .)
