'headwear' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'head of the city' is the wordplay.
'head of' says to take the initial letters.
'city' becomes 'urban' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'the' is 't'.
't'+'urban'='TURBAN'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turban that I've seen before include "Nut bar (anag.)" , "Sash wound as head-covering" , "A wind-up over locks" , "it provides cover for head" , "Cloth wound around the head" .)
