Shawl disguises a man's hip (8)
I believe the answer is:
pashmina
'shawl' is the definition.
(I know that pashmina is a type of shawl)
'disguises a man's hip' is the wordplay.
'disguises' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'disguising' mean this).
'a'+'mans'+'hip'='amanship'
'amanship' with letters rearranged gives 'PASHMINA'.
(Other definitions for pashmina that I've seen before include "Fine quality shawl" , "Shawl made of high quality goat's wool" , "Fine fabric made from goat's wool -- sham pain (anag)" , "Fine-quality shawl" .)
