Follower or man of the cloth (6)

I believe the answer is:

tailor

'man of the cloth' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'follower or' is the wordplay.
'follower' becomes 'tail' (tail is a kind of follower).
'tail'+'or'='TAILOR'

(Other definitions for tailor that I've seen before include "Person who cuts clothes" , "follower of tinker" , "Rialto (anag) -- adjust to a specific need" , "Couturier" , "Maker of men's suits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
