Crossword Genius

Man made fabric! (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
