Long lane that does have a turning for headwear (3-6,3)

I believe the answer is:

ten-gallon hat

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

'long lane' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'does have a turning for headwear' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'headwear' could be 'hat' (hat is a type of headwear) and 'hat' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ten-gallon hat that I've seen before include "Texas headgear" , "Cowboy headgear" , "It features on the head of a cowboy" , "Item worn by a cowboy" , "Western headgear?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
