I believe the answer is:

don

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

'where clothing's concerned he won't' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'take anything off' is the wordplay.
'take' becomes 'do' ('To take' a course is 'to do' a course).
'anything off' becomes 'n' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'do'+'n'='DON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for don that I've seen before include "University lecturer" , "A mafia chief or Spanish lord" , "A mafia chief or Spanish grandee" , "River, academic" , "University teacher" .)
