Ross

I believe the answer is:

lederhosen

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

'gear for oktoberfest?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'lend heroes recycled' is the wordplay.
'recycled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lend'+'heroes'='lendheroes'
'lendheroes' with letters rearranged gives 'LEDERHOSEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lederhosen that I've seen before include "Alpine shorts" , "German outfit" , "Bavarian leather shorts" , "Clothing" , "trousers displayed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
