Strauss of pants (4)
I believe the answer is:
levi
'strauss of pants' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for levi that I've seen before include "Hebrew patriarch - Italian writer" , "Matthew (NT)" , "Jewish priestly tribe" , "Tribe - name for Strauss" , "Biblical priest" .)
