"clothes" and "clothing", are they countable or uncountable nouns?

 Do you say "How many/much clothes/cloth are/is in your wardrobe?"  and "How many/much clothings/clothing are/in in your wardrobe?"

 thanks.

How many clothes are there in your wardrobe?

"How many/much clothings/clothing are/in in your wardrobe?" (''Clothing' is uncountable, so the sentence is not correct.)
