Clothes is a plural uncountable noun, therefore it goes with with much very well. And it's also grammatically correct.

[Dandelion]

I'm afraid clothes is not an uncountable noun. Uncountable nouns do not have plural forms. Clothing is an uncountable noun.

My clothes are old.
My clothing is old.

[mykwyner]

I think that clothes is an uncountable noun, one that is always expressed in the plural like scissors or pants .

[Marylin]

I'm afraid clothes is not an uncountable noun. Uncountable nouns do not have plural forms. Clothing is an uncountable noun.

My clothes are old. OK
My clothing is old.

OK



Clothing is an uncountable noun.

And so is clothes "Clothes" is a collective noun and therefore uncountable.

Question:

Do you say "I have one clothe"?
or
"I have two/three/four/ clothes"????

If English is your native language,you know you wouldn't say that, would you?

[Casiopea]

Consider what's not been stated:

1c. How many items should I bring?
1d. How many items of clothing should I bring?
1e. How many clothes should I bring?
1f. How much (stuff) should I bring?

1b. How much clothing should I bring? ('clothing' is expressed as a pile, i.e., collective and non-count, but that's not the meaning you intended, I believe.)
