Past sense - "suntans" (clothing) - the word used for light khaki trousers, apparently[edit]
A sense missing here, maybe.
Google "suntans clothing" for this.
- 1960, John Updike, 'Rabbit, Run', page 86:
- In frightened haste he takes clean Jockey pants, T-shirts, and socks from a drawer, three shirts in cellophane and blue cardboard from another, a pair of laundered suntans from a third, draws his two suits and a sports shirt from the closet, and wraps the smaller clothing in the suits to form a bundle he can carry.
