Matador's need (4)
I believe the answer is:
cape
'matador's need' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cape that I've seen before include "Head; garment" , "Sleeveless overgarment" , "Loose cloak or promontory" , "Sleeveless garment like a cloak" , "Cod possibly" .)
