Repository for service clothing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vestry

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

'repository' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'service clothing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'clothing' could be 'vest' (vest is a kind of clothing) and 'vest' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vestry that I've seen before include "Part of church used as an office" , "Parochial meeting-room in church" , "Robing room" , "Church sacristy" , "Church room where clergy dress themselves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
