'underwear' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'supply nigel farage finally packs for one' is the wordplay.
'supply' is an anagram indicator (in a supple way).
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'packs' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are packed inside).
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
The final letter of 'farage' is 'e'.
'nigel'+'e'='nigele'
'nigele' anagrammed gives 'nligee'.
'nligee' placed around 'eg' is 'NEGLIGEE'.
