If the noun clothes is uncountable (some, not a clothes), why do we say too many and not too much clothes?
It's also 'a few' clothes --normally used with countable plural nouns (a few people)-- rather than 'a little', used with uncountables (a little water). Can anyone explain why?!!

Both "people" (as in persons) and "clothes" are plural countable nouns with no singular.

accountability of volume and numbers
water is in volume
clothes are in number
everything on planet earth used to be its unit that is why..
*and people ! it has unit called population.
Hope this will be a satisfying the logic you needed....?
