Straighten back of jacket? I would, certainly (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tidy up

'straighten' is the definition.
('tidy up' can be a synonym of 'straighten')

'back of jacket? i would certainly' is the wordplay.
'back of' says to take the final letters.
'i would' becomes 'id'.
'certainly' becomes 'yup'.
The final letter of 'jacket' is 't'.
't'+'id'+'yup'='TIDY UP'

(Other definitions for tidy up that I've seen before include "Put things back in their places" , "Make neater" , "Make neat" , "Put (things or places) in order" , "Spring clean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
