Man made fabric! (5)
I believe the answer is:
serge
This clue is a double definition.
'man' is the first definition.
'fabric' is the second definition.
(serge is a kind of fabric)
'made' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for serge that I've seen before include "A twill fabric" , "Twilled fabric; name" , "Durable fabric" , "Frenchman" , "Stuff" .)
