Manufactured snug sock line in silk (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
king's counsel
'silk' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'manufactured snug sock line' is the wordplay.
'manufactured' indicates an anagram.
'snug'+'sock'+'line'='snugsockline'
'snugsockline' with letters rearranged gives 'KINGS COUNSEL'.
'in' is the link.
