Think I have the answers but need reasons:

"Casual suit, edges trimmed, contains bum".

i-s-u-i---

I expect it is insouciant (casual). Why?

"Bloody outstanding article by a setter for analysis in competition" (4,6)

g-m- t-e---

Has to be "game theory" (gory outside "a" or "the" as the article, but where does the setter come in?

"all fingers and thumbs alternatively making sense"

t-n-r (if the other two are right)

Can only be "toner" or "tuner"? Why?

first one is an anagram of contains + ui (removing s t from suit)
