See mischievous kids cut adolescent’s cloth (9)
I believe the answer is:
velveteen
'cloth' is the definition.
(velveteen is a kind of cloth)
'see mischievous kids cut adolescent's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'see' could be 'v' (short for 'vide', Latin meaning 'see elsewhere') and 'v' is found in the answer.
'adolescent' could be 'teen' (teenager) and 'teen' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for velveteen that I've seen before include "Cotton fabric with thick pile" , "Cotton fabric with soft pile" .)
