Like going around with adolescent in woven fabric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sateen

'woven fabric' is the definition.
(type of fabric)

'like going around with adolescent' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'going around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'adolescent' becomes 'teen' (teenager).
'as' in reverse letter order is 'sa'.
'sa'+'teen'='SATEEN'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sateen that I've seen before include "Closely woven cotton fabric resembling satin" , "Glossy material" , "Cotton fabric with a shiny finish" , "Glossy cotton fabric" , "Sea net could provide a glossy fabric" .)
