Grapple with garment? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cope

I believe this is a double definition.

'grapple' is the first definition.
(I know that grapple can be written as cope)

'garment?' is the second definition.
(type of religious cloak)

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cope that I've seen before include "Priest's cloak; deal (with)" , "Manage, make do" , "Manage effectively" , "Deal with, manage successfully" , "top on wall" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
