Material obtained from dollar sign (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buckram

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

'dollar sign' is the wordplay.
'dollar' becomes 'buck' (synonyms).
'sign' becomes 'ram' (I've seen this before).
'buck'+'ram'='BUCKRAM'

'obtained from' is the link.

(Other definitions for buckram that I've seen before include "Coarse material" , "Coarse stuff" , "stiff stuff!" , "Bookbinding material - cub mark (anag)" , "stiffening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
