Quiet law-breaker's garment? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shawl

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'garment?' is the definition.
(shawl is a kind of garment)

'quiet law-breaker's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'quiet' could be 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet) and 'sh' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'law' is 'awl' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shawl that I've seen before include "Neck warmer" , "Fabric wrap" , "Woman assumes this" , "Wrap for a baby" , "Baby's wrap" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
