2 Lapels, anagram?
1 Scamper, run around. Scam,con +Per, for each one (£5 per head, say)
anagram of lapels if thats not a coincidence
scam-per
1 , scamper
strange clue No 2?
The clue looks right as its been used before like here
http://www.puzzlechoice.com/pc2/Cryptic03x.html
but it seem's odd to me too... no real definition
Well the clue is correct

http://www.puzzlechoice.com/pc2/Cryptic03x.html

but how 'crumpled jacket' = lapels is a strange one, to me anyway.
Question Author
Thank you all.
I should have got No 1.
Question Author
Re no 2, perhaps "crumpled ... a spell " indicates an anagram.
Lapels are required for jackets.
Clue is a bit tortuous.
'crumpled a spell required for a jacket' might make a bit more sense!
