Wordplay:
4-letter synonym for "pole" + 7-letter syn. for "picks up" + 3-letter syn. for "stylish". Def. last 2 wds. iun clue.
I agree though: particularly hard going today, lots of words new to me.

Greedy kite, check the second name of the character in Chambers and look at the definition of the one which starts with a lower case b and then check the definition of the title under mort 3.
