I believe the answer is:

idle

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

'nothing on?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'afraid leather disguises having' is the wordplay.
'having' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'IDLE' can be found hidden inside 'afraid leather disguises'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Circus entertainer" , "staying in bed all day?" , "Loaf" , "Not occupied" , "Eric, perhaps" .)
