Protective wear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apron

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "Paved area where aircraft are parked" , "Pinny -part of the fairway leading onto the green" , "Area for aircraft not in use" , "Put on to protect" , "Protective garment - type of stage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily, The Telegraph and The Times.
