Top three sit out (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tee shirt

'top' is the definition.
(I know that tee-shirt is a type of shirt)

'three sit out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'three'+'sit'='threesit'
'threesit' anagrammed gives 'TEE-SHIRT'.

(Other definitions for tee shirt that I've seen before include "casual wear" , "Simple garment" , "Casual garment" , "top?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
