Suit for men in digs (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spades

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'suit' is the first definition.
(playing card suit)

'men in digs' is the second definition.
'spades' can be an answer for 'digs' (I know this). I am unsure of the 'men in' bit.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spades that I've seen before include "One of two black suits" , "Card suit and sturdy shovels" , "trumps sometimes" , "Passed around with diggers" , "Does some groundwork" .)
