'test clothing' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'town runs that' is the wordplay.
'town' becomes 't' (abbreviation for town).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'that' becomes 'yon' (archaic term meaning 'that').
't'+'r'+'yon'='TRYON'
