Something to wear for a pound (3)

I believe the answer is:

alb

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

'something to wear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a pound' is the wordplay.
'pound' becomes 'lb' (synonyms).
'a'+'lb'='ALB'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alb that I've seen before include "Without hindrance" , "Long white church vestment" , "Long white robe worn by Christian priest" , "clerical belongings" , "Long white robe worn by proest" .)
