Material obtained from many Londoners (5)

I believe the answer is:

nylon

'material' is the definition.
(I know that nylon is a type of material)

'obtained from many londoners' is the wordplay.
'obtained from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'NYLON' is hidden in the letters of 'many londoners'.

(Other definitions for nylon that I've seen before include "Man-made fabric" , "Artificial cloth" , "Type of material" , "where ladder can appear?" , "The first synthetic fibre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
