Stripping reminds model of jeans (5)
I believe the answer is:
denim
'of jeans' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'stripping reminds model' is the wordplay.
'stripping' indicates the central letters (outer letters strip off).
'model' indicates anagramming the letters.
The middle letters of 'reminds' are 'emind'.
'emind' anagrammed gives 'DENIM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for denim that I've seen before include "Hard-wearing cotton fabric" , "Material for casual trousers or jackets" , "Coloured cotton twill" , "Hard-wearing blue fabric" , "Mined (anag)" .)
