Shrink still regularly used other material (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winceyette

'material' is the definition.
(winceyette is a kind of material)

'shrink still regularly used other' is the wordplay.
'shrink' becomes 'wince' (synonyms).
'still' becomes 'yet' (yet can mean still or so far).
'regularly used' indicates alternate letters (letters selected on a regular basis).
The alternate letters of 'other' are 'te'.
'wince'+'yet'+'te'='WINCEYETTE'

(Another definition for winceyette that I've seen is " Fabric".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
