Lawyer material (4)
I believe the answer is:
silk
I believe this is a double definition.
'lawyer' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'material' is the second definition.
(silk is a kind of material)
(Other definitions for silk that I've seen before include "brief" , "Fabric obtained from the cocoon of a worm" , "Rich fabric" , "fine material" , "Item of fine legwear" .)
