Name a garment right (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

robert

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

'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a garment right' is the wordplay.
'a garment' becomes 'robe' (robe is a type of garment).
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'robe'+'rt'='ROBERT'

Can you help me to learn more?
