Torn, shredded (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
tattered
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'torn' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'shredded' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for tattered that I've seen before include "Frayed" , "Torn into irregular pieces" , "Shabby" , "In poor condition" , "Ragged and threadbare" .)
