Managed wearing a vestment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coped

This clue is a double definition.

'managed' is the first definition.
('cope' can be a synonym of 'manage')

'wearing a vestment' is the second definition.
(cope can mean a cloak worn by a priest)

(Other definitions for coped that I've seen before include "Managed successfully" , "Managed, got by" , "as a priest in ceremony?" , "Managed well enough" , "Made the grade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
