I solved Redactle #611 in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 00:04:44.

the uncovered “following” was the big clue (altho I didn’t know it was related to this word (which I thought was connected to fitting/matching), unlike the one with the added vowel - but it did spring to mind immediately, and in combination with the “off-the-*” variants it seemed worth the guess anyway

slugbuggy, life has new meaning to me (breastcrawl), Saturday, 9 December 2023 13:14 (eleven months ago) link

I was too hasty. I thought it was fashion, didn't get anything from 'following' and couldn't think of a four letter clothing item so guessed... shop.
