Summaries given about headgear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recaps

'summaries' is the definition.
(recap is a kind of summary)

'about headgear' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'headgear' becomes 'caps' (I have seen 'International headgear ' mean 'caps' so perhaps 'headgear' could also mean 'caps').
're'+'caps'='RECAPS'

'given' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for recaps that I've seen before include "Summarises at the end" , "Summarises briefly" , "Reviews" , "Such summaries" , "In brief, state again the main points" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
