Can Be Or Have Been Worn

[johntywino]

Thanks to everybody that helped I am now down to the final TWO that I am not too sure about.
(A) Four in New York (4) and
(B) Frenchman enters one (5)

Possibly jewels,rings, watches, even a smile (sometimes worn,even by me)?

Hi,johntywino,I gave you an explanation for my answer to B last night along with the answer to the decluttering one.It was a bit iffy, I agree

[frugalfred]

(B) suggestion: amice. Frenchman would be Monsieur (M); one is ACE. Can't account for the I. Amice was a hood worn by monks, priests, etc.

Is B definitely 5 letters?
I thought of M IN I (as in mini skirt)

[frugalfred]

That's good thinking, factor30, if it's 4 letters!

[johntywino]

Hi Quinie, I'm definitely with you on the doublet, but I STILL can't see where the socks come from! (It may come to me) Factor30, Definitely 5 letters.
How come NOBODY is into "four in New York"? Nobody has tried a guess! I.ve given up on it so just waiting for a possibility! John.

A) There was a Big Four concert in New York in 2011, by 4 bands. So, is it BAND?

NIVY is a Chinese clothing company - jeans, tee shirts etc

Pips in the big Apple as in military badges

IV (four) in NY is the obvious answer but I can't find such a word in English

Hi Frugalfred,Seems a bit unlikely with the missing "i", but if nothing better appears I will have to give it a try,and risk losing the £50,000 first prize. Still what's a few quid eh?
