Misgivings about the foreign garments (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doublets

'garments' is the definition.
(doublet is a kind of garment)

'misgivings about the foreign' is the wordplay.
'misgivings' becomes 'doubts' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the foreign' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'doubts' going around 'le' is 'DOUBLETS'.

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
