Strengths of garb for tall men? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
long suits
'strengths of garb' is the definition.
'long suits' can be an answer for 'strengths' ('long suit' can be a synonym of 'strength'). I'm unsure of the 'of garb' bit.
'tall men?' is the wordplay.
'tall' becomes 'long' (I've seen this before).
'men?' becomes 'suits' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'long'+'suits'='LONG SUITS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
