I believe the answer is:

knitwear

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

'vest perhaps' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'kelvin's wrinkled winter clothing includes a' is the wordplay.
'kelvin' becomes 'K' (abbreviation for the unit of temperature).
'wrinkled' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'clothing' is an insertion indicator (some letters cover up or clothe others).
'includes' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'winter' is an anagram of 'nitwer'.
'k' inserted within 'nitwer' is 'knitwer'.
'knitwer' enclosing 'a' is 'KNITWEAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for knitwear that I've seen before include "sweaters, for example" , "Clothing of intertwined wool" , "Garments made of wool" , "Sweaters etc" , "Cardigan" .)
