Limited clothing for which most of naked crew laboured (8)
I believe the answer is:
neckwear
'limited clothing' is the definition.
(clothing covering only part of the body)
'most of naked crew laboured' is the wordplay.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'laboured' indicates an anagram (letters must work or labour into a new form).
'naked' with its final letter taken off is 'nake'.
'nake'+'crew'='nakecrew'
'nakecrew' is an anagram of 'NECKWEAR'.
'for which' is the link.
(Other definitions for neckwear that I've seen before include "sort of clothing" , "Tie perhaps" , "Collars, ties etc." , "Stock" , "eg Ties, cravats" .)
