Run found in woven tussore garment (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trousers

'garment' is the definition.
(trousers is a kind of garment)

'run found in woven tussore' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'woven' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tussore' with letters rearranged gives 'tousers'.
'r' placed inside 'tousers' is 'TROUSERS'.

(Other definitions for trousers that I've seen before include "suit section" , "Outer garment" , "Garments fro the nether regions" , "pockets" , "Nether garments now worn by either sex" .)
