Crossword Genius

Headgear made of good French open fabric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bonnet

'headgear' is the definition.
(I know that Bonnet is a bonnet)

'good french open fabric' is the wordplay.
'good french' becomes 'bon' ('good' in French).
'open fabric' becomes 'net' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bon'+'net'='BONNET'

'made of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bonnet that I've seen before include "Headwear for a car?" , "Type of woman's hat" , "Baby's hat" , "Headgear -engine cover" , "Cover for head or engine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
