Supply of chamois, suede, etc. (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

'supply' is the definition.
('issue' can be a synonym of 'supply')

'of chamois suede etc' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ISSUE' is hidden within 'chamois suede etc'.

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Offspring or edition" , "One's offspring" , "Debate topic; flow out" , "Offspring or one of publication" , "Important question" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
