Short trousers? Soft soap (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flannel

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'short trousers?' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'soft soap' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for flannel that I've seen before include "hedge" , "Cloth for washing face, or just flattery" , "short trousers" , "Small piece of towelling for washing oneself" , "it comes in handy for washing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
