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

'what tailor' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'good skill around chaps' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap means a man).
'art' enclosing 'men' is 'arment'.
'g'+'arment'='GARMENT'

'provides' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for garment that I've seen before include "An article of clothing (7)" , "Singular outfit" , "coat maybe" , "Something put on" , "dress, perhaps" .)
