 * It could be attributive use of the plural noun basics, referring to basic types of clothing. I don't think that is well captured as just plural of basic, though that is obviously the etymology. DCDuring TALK 20:33, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Examining some of the source at shows that some (eg, Collins) call basics a plural noun. MWOnline has: 'basic (noun)' defined as "basics: the simplest and most important parts of something (such as a subject of study)" DCDuring TALK  20:39, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
