amice

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'cape' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'one with lead weights in sash' is the second definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amice that I've seen before include "hood" , "Linen rectangle worn by priests" , "priestly garment?" , "Priest's garment" , "church vestment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
