Got a new garment (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toga

'garment' is the definition.
(toga is a kind of garment)

'got a new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'got'+'a'='gota'
'gota' with letters rearranged gives 'TOGA'.

(Other definitions for toga that I've seen before include "Garment worn by men in ancient Rome" , "One-piece Roman wrap" , "garment of old" , "Roman tunic" , "Cloak of ancient Rome" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Mirror.
