Toll chino extracted from intimate apparel (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loincloth

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

'apparel' is the definition.
(I know that loincloth is a type of apparel)

'toll chino extracted from intimate' is the wordplay.
'toll chino' can be anagrammed to 'LOINCLOTH'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loincloth that I've seen before include "Minimum clothing?" , "Sort of dhoti" , "Minimal garment" , "Simple garment" , "scanty garment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
