Got a crate ordered for a garment (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

greatcoat

'for a garment' is the definition.
(greatcoat is a kind of garment)

'got a crate ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'got'+'a'+'crate'='gotacrate'
'gotacrate' with letters rearranged gives 'GREATCOAT'.

(Other definitions for greatcoat that I've seen before include "One may cover officer" , "Long overgarment" , "what a soldier might wear" , "Long heavy outer garment" , "piece of clothing" .)
