Helpful Hints
- 'Tailor' and 'less' are this clue's indicators. One is an anagram indicator, telling us to rearrange some nearby letters, and the other is a deletion indicator, telling us to remove something first.
- Our fodder is 'billed' and '500'. We'll use the letters of one along with a short substitute for the other to construct our answer, as directed by the indicator(s).
- The definition is 'offensive suit?', and our answer will be a kind of offensive suit (but it won't be a kind of garment).
