Unrobe us, after adjusting cloak (8)
I believe the answer is:
burnouse
'cloak' is the definition.
(burnouse is a kind of cloak)
'unrobe us after adjusting' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'adjusting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'unrobe'+'us'='unrobeus'
'unrobeus' with letters rearranged gives 'BURNOUSE'.
(Another definition for burnouse that I've seen is " Hooded cape".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
