Thanks to everyone for their help Nacnud

26a is Gibus (21d. epicarp)

[Nacnud Wod]

Hello Slipnot I haveExocarp for 21down and toque for26a
Gibus in Chambers is a collapsible hat Nacnud

[slipnot]

Hi Nacnud, sorry I'm so late in replying... Both epicarp and exocarp would fit as they have the same definition. I chose gibus as it is a collapsible opera hat named after it's inventor Antoine Gibus.

[Nacnud Wod]

Best of luck anyway slipnot I try to do that crossword every week so perhaps we will be able to help another time Nacnud

[slipnot]

Lately some q's can have up to four answers or different spellings which is a bit annoying. No doubt we'll get stuck again at some point! Been doing this crossword for years now and not so much as a book token so hope you have (or have had) more luck. Cheers..
