laplander

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'arctic guy' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'arranges to darn lapel' is the wordplay.
'arranges' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'arrange' mean this).
'darn'+'lapel'='darnlapel'
'darnlapel' anagrammed gives 'LAPLANDER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laplander that I've seen before include "Santa's compatriot?" , "Northerner?" , "North European" , "one in the far north" , "Northerner's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
