Guards hat from worrying break-ins (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bearskin

'guards hat' is the definition.
(hat worn by British Army guards)

'worrying break-ins' is the wordplay.
'worrying' indicates an anagram.
'break'+'ins'='breakins'
'breakins' anagrammed gives 'BEARSKIN'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bearskin that I've seen before include "Pelt" , "It covers soldier's head" , "military gear" , "piece of military uniform" , "Regimental helmet of black fur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
