Pulled quote out of the hat (5)
I believe the answer is:
toque
'the hat' is the definition.
(toque is a kind of hat)
'pulled quote' is the wordplay.
'pulled' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'pulling' mean this).
'quote' anagrammed gives 'TOQUE'.
'out of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for toque that I've seen before include "may be over head" , "Sri Lankan monkey" , "Woman's round, brimless hat" , "Turban" , "Woman's small hat" .)
