Welcome to Peer Review no. 353, your weekly competition to compose a cryptic clue, to be judged by your fellow contestants.

Entrants may submit as many clues as they wish and everyone is welcome, particularly newcomers. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help; please also feel free to ask another setter to parse a clue.

Clues should be posted before 12.00 noon (BST) on Friday 28 September.

Voting opens at 12.00 noon on 28 September. Entrants should vote for their favourite clue by referring to the author of the clue and the relevant post number. Please refrain from commenting on entries until voting has begun.

Voting closes at 9pm that evening; if you have posted an entry, please don't forget to cast your vote.

The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition.

The setter will declare the winner and award an online prize. In the event of a tie the setter has the deciding vote.

The solution to be clued this week is:

SMOKING JACKET (7,6)

Have fun and the best of luck to one and all.
