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

'real cowgirl material?' is the definition.
'pleather' can be an answer for 'material?' (type of imitation leather). I am unsure of the 'real cowgirl' bit.

'gather this girl's' is the wordplay.
'gather' becomes 'pleat' (to gather or fold into pleats).
'this girl' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a girl or woman).
'pleat'+'her'='PLEATHER'

'not' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pleather that I've seen is " Fabric".)
