60s Jamaican slang assistance needed

Posted

I've been revisiting my ska records again recently, and I am not sure what Prince Buster is referring to in "Wine and Grine" when he talks about a "brush"

" First thing she asks if you have your brush, 

If you have your brush you can avoid the rush"

He also references the "brush" near the end of "Rough Rider" - "I wore me brush"

OK, so what is a "brush"? 

If it's extremely lewd, send me a message. Thanks.
