Like Jersey sailors to kiss amorously? (4-4)

I believe the answer is:

crew-neck

'like jersey' is the definition.
(a jersey may have a crew-neck)

'sailors to kiss amorously?' is the wordplay.
'sailors' becomes 'crew' (I've seen this before).
'to kiss amorously?' becomes 'neck' (I've seen this before).
'crew'+'neck'='CREW-NECK'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
