Comments on the clue
1.I can't work this one out. What is the anagram material?
2.Too complex for me.
3.Surface reading very artificial. And an &lit should be a little more realistic
4.It takes quite a bit of algebra to get to (NO PANACHE + JOLLIEST -CLOTHES -O(rdinary))*
5.Too complicated a comp anag for me!
