Comments on the clue
1.Where's the anagram indicator?
2.Needs an anagram indicator. Does not need "loud". Minor quibble: "shirt front" is two words. (In Chambers 11th ed.)
3.Clue contains superfluous words
4.There is no anagram indicator here. 'Your loud' are suplerfluous words
5.There's nothing to indicate to the solver that it's an anagram: needs e.g. '…awfully icky, Ed'.
