25 Topi ?

Hat made from the pith of the spongewood tree.

9a) follows today's topic. Another word for stern with or backwards
23a) again follows today's topic - rack for hanging them!
25a) look up Chambers for spongewood

Damn the other name for the hat!!

Still struggling with top right hand corner despite your pointer for 9a. Must be a bit below par today.

Not knowing what the clue is makes it difficult, but as the guess was 'Portents' and given the clue afterwards....Stern + or


Overseer?

More members would help if clues were given.

9a is a type of hat, not perhaps made by British 3a!
I am stuck with 14d... A Greek iota with 1a? 8. ?t?l???e.
I do not have a Chambers dictionary for 25a. And it's not in Oxford. Clue is Spongewood (4) ???a.
Thanks a lot.

Sorry, forgot to give 1a.
It is: Cover door or 7? 7 being 'roof'. t?l?

1a. Tile
14d. Italiote
Anagram of TILE and IOTA
