Material in Norwich I noted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chino

'material' is the definition.
(chino is a kind of material)

'in norwich i noted' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CHINO' is hidden within 'norwich i noted'.

(Other definitions for chino that I've seen before include "Cotton textile material" , "Coarse twilled cotton fabric" , "Twilled cotton cloth" , "Coarse cotton khaki-coloured fabric" , "Type of fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
