Old-fashioned and more suitable tailor (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outfitter

'tailor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'old-fashioned and more suitable' is the wordplay.
'old-fashioned' becomes 'out' (as opposed to 'in').
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'more suitable' becomes 'fitter' ('fit' can be similar in meaning to 'suitable').
'out'+'fitter'='OUTFITTER'

(Other definitions for outfitter that I've seen before include "Trader" , "It suits one" , "Seller of clothes" , "Men's clothes shop" , "who could help in gear selection?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
