Military headgear with twisted spike (5)

I believe the answer is:

kepis

'military headgear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'twisted spike' is the wordplay.
'twisted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'spike' with letters rearranged gives 'KEPIS'.

'with' is the link.

(Another definition for kepis that I've seen is " French military caps".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
