Puts up with relations in furry attire (8)
I believe the answer is:
bearskin
'furry attire' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'puts up with relations' is the wordplay.
'puts up with' becomes 'bears' ('bear' can be a synonym of 'put up with').
'relations' becomes 'kin' (both can mean one's family).
'bears'+'kin'='BEARSKIN'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bearskin that I've seen before include "hide from wild animal" , "Military fur hat" , "Pelt" , "Military cover" , "piece of military uniform" .)
