Last to comment on old Pope's headdress (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turban

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'headdress' is the definition.
(I know that turban is a type of headdress)

'last to comment on old pope's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'last' could be 't' (I've seen this in other clues) and 't' is found within the answer.
'pope' could be 'urban' (there have been several Pope Urbans) and 'urban' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turban that I've seen before include "Piece of cloth worn around the head" , "Cloth wound around the head" , "Eastern head-dress" , "Sikh headgear" , "Headdress worn by Sikh men" .)
