Help appreciated for....

25a - I have an answer that means "blanket" but can't figure out the wordplay.

Drxx - in 27, I have “command” as extra as withdrawn is the reversal indicator

28 an old trendy 60's term for I'm surprised' (3 letters) + the usual 2 letters for 'when' with 'i(gnores)' inside - 'paper' is extra.

you're right candledave, another slip from me!

brendan - 25 1 letter 'sons' + A (from either of the next two words - there's a bit of ambiguity here) + 4 letters for wine 'refuse'.

...the def is 'worn blanket' (because you wear it) and the extra is the 'A' you decide to chuck out.

Thanks very much Drxx.

Thanks from me too, Drxx, for post 36 especially. I will get there.

Any hints on the 3rd 5th and 7th hidden wordplay would be appreciated!
I believe I have all the extra words...

Hi Lewap,

3rd word is an anagram/"out" 'invite'+ 1 letter abbr. for 'advanced' + 1 letter abbr. for 'command paper'.

7th word is another anagram of "one's again" + single letter abbr. of "sun".

Haven't figured out the 5th word yet.
