Leave out workers' garments (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ski pants

'garments' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leave out workers'' is the wordplay.
'leave out' becomes 'skip' (skipping is a kind of leaving out).
'workers'' becomes 'ants' (worker ants).
'skip'+'ants'='SKI PANTS'

(Other definitions for ski pants that I've seen before include "Winter sports wear" , "Gear employed descending mountain" , "Trousers" , "Garments" .)
