The chaps point to me (3)
I believe the answer is:
men
'the chaps' is the definition.
(chap means a man)
'point to me' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (North).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'n' after 'me' is 'MEN'.
(Other definitions for men that I've seen before include "gents" , "Male humans" , "Soldiers" , "Human males" , "Chess pieces" .)
