I believe the answer is:

frock coat

'one?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'two garments' is the wordplay.
'two garments' means two substitutions for 'garment'.
'garment' becomes 'frock' (frock is a kind of garment).
'garment' becomes 'coat' (coat is a kind of garment).
'frock'+'coat'='FROCK-COAT'

'in' acts as a link.
