English is Stupid, part 52

I just read an article talking about a new store, and it said something like, "She clothes her new space in blacks and tans..."

It occurred to me that in that context, we pronounce the "th" in "clothes".

When we're talking about things we wear, it's pronounced "close".

Ridiculous.
