Cold primate wants shawl (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cape

'shawl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold primate' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'primate' becomes 'ape' (large primate).
'c'+'ape'='CAPE'

'wants' is the link.

(Other definitions for cape that I've seen before include "Wrath, say" , "Shoulders? They're covered in it" , "Cod, for example" , "Shawl" , "Outer garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
