Try introducing skinned badger hats (8)
I believe the answer is:
headgear
'hats' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'try introducing skinned badger' is the wordplay.
'try' becomes 'hear' ('hear' can be a synonym of 'try'**).
'introducing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters introduced or inserted into others).
'skinned' indicates the central letters.
The central letters of 'badger' are 'adge'.
'hear' placed around 'adge' is 'HEADGEAR'.
(Other definitions for headgear that I've seen before include "Perhaps a hat" , "Trilby e.g" , "Mortarboard < , especially" , "Hats, helmets etc." , "helmet, for instance" .)
