Clothing Quiz help please......

[HRHQoQ]

I've got a quiz here which is a fundraiser for our church - it cost £1 for it, and the prize is a £20 M&S voucher.......they've extended the closing date by 2 weeks (to the 1st Sunday in December) as NO-ONE has managed to finish it yet - they're all finidng it really hard......I only found this out tonight.....and thought perhaps my wonderful MN'er friends could help me out. All answers are items of clothing........ and the numbers in brackets are how many letters. It's a long one I'm afraid.......and I'm completely stumped on the majority......but I'd love a £20 M&S voucher to treat us to something.

I'm not very good at 'cryptic' stuff

Embark - start
starts with 'g', gart
2 - garters

Garters is only 7 letters though and the clue say 8.

well it should be 7, they're wrong

3 should be cape?

nope - definitely cope -

wtf is a cope?

ok i looked it up... cope is a wearing type ything

nut can't find out that its a highest point on a dwelling

COPE STONE: The horizontal top stone of a wall or similar stone construction , usually flat.

well.. there you go. my useless £30 massive oxford dictionary knows bugger all about cope stones

Fair enough Lonelymum. I certainly can't think of anything else, so spencer it is!

Yes,the embarking thing is really bugging me now

Hate to be mean, but I don't see how it can be garters, do you?

No, I agree LM.

And I'm still not sure about 34. I really don't think it can be pith hat but then again pork pie, which seems right, isn't an item of clothing

A pork pie is a type of hat but it is a bit obscure.

Lonelymum - a garter is a breed of snake

Pork pie hats aren't obscure to those of us who were around in the 70s and 80s

Furball? I know that, but does it make it the answer to the clue?

WWB, that'll be me then!

well even though it could be - I doubt it as it says its 9 letters.

Are you both talking about the same clue? Someone was talking about the embarking clue being garter; the snake one is Moccasins.

Oops sorry everyone, I am talking about the snake clue - now I'm just thinking it could be trousers as in trouser snake

I am talking about the embarking with G and 2 clue. I don't think it is garters as there are not enough letters there. Even if it had the right number of letters, I am not convinced by it.

No, I don't think it's garters either - not at all convinced by that one!

i don't think pork pie hat is obscure!
i am onyl 25 and i know what a blimmin pork pie hat is.
.
it is definitely the answer!

Definitely pork-pie hat, I think so too.

how we doing!! 'we' loosly as I arnt doing at all!!!

Ok well using MrsMills's logic and assuming that the word begins with G and is plural, and has 8 letters, I have looked up my thesaurus and can only find galoshes. Does anyone want to make that fit?
