Outfitter produces end piece with gold (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tailor

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

'outfitter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'end piece with gold' is the wordplay.
'end piece' becomes 'tail' (tail is a kind of piece. I am not sure about the 'end' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'tail'+'or'='TAILOR'

'produces' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tailor that I've seen before include "Maker of men's suits" , "Maker of garments" , "Maker of clothes, men's mostly" , "One who makes garments" , "Maker of clothes for men" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
