There are two clues for which I can see answers, but cannot understand the reasoning:
8d - This is not OK, run together online (8) [seems to be overrule]
12a - Type of fabric, older kind, is regularly unreliable? (6,4) [seems to be doublet knit: doublet with kni from kind is, but why unreliable?]

Any help appreciated.

12a - DOUBLE KNIT
alternate letters(=regularly) from "older kind is" LEKNI
put "in DOUBT" (= unreliable)

Thanks for that, Reg, I shouldn't have got stuck on doublet.
I don't suppose you can offer anything for 8d?
We have Overrule-but I can't remember why!
