UK, I pronounce the “th” but had to vote “other” as I’ve* heard* people say “close”. That was a common “incorrect” pronunciation in the South East, where I grew up.
Not by people who spell it correctly.
I voted “other,” because, although I do not pronounce the “th,” I have indeed heard it pronounced that way by others. (That wasn’t a poll option.)
I don’t think either way is a “wrong” way of pronouncing it, just different.
Splunge for me, too.
Although, if I’m trying to be all Frasier Crane, I have been known to deliberately insert the TH sound for comic effect.
I couldn’t get it to let me edit the poll.
I do say “cloths” properly but I stick on “clothes.” Don’t know why. As for saying “She clothes her child,” I pronounce that verb as “dresses.” 
I said I don’t pronounce it. I pronounce the noun exactly like “close.” I pronounce the verb with a bit of a th sound, but certainly not as much as in the word “cloths.”
Everyone pronounces the th in clothes. But there can be a bit of variation in how it’s done.
You see, th in English spelling actually represents two entirely different sounds. One is called the voiced th, and it has a somewhat buzzy ‘zee’ sound. That’s the th sound mot people make when they say the word “clothes”, or the word “the.”
The other sound is the voiceless th. It’s the th sound you hear when you say the word “thistle” or “leather.” It’s softer, and lacks the buzzy quality of the voiced th.
You actually put your tongue in a different spot in your mouth when you make the two different sounds English spells as “th.”. Try saying “the leather clothes thistle” and notice where you place your tongue for each sound. For voiced th, the tip of the tongue is between the front teeth. For voiceless th, it’s slightly behind the upper front teeth.
So the OP needs to clarify which th sound - voiced or voiceless - he’s referring to in his original question if we’re supposed to answer it accurately.
For the record, Merriam Webster gives the first pronunciation as 'klōz, with ˈklōthz\ as an alternate pronunciation.
I normally use the first one, but have heard the second.
This is not supported by Merriam-Webster. The first pronunciation includes just “z”, without either a voiced or an unvoiced “th.” The second pronunciation includes a “z” with a voiced “th” (indicated by th).
Exactly the same sound and tongue position for me.
Yeah, that 50% on Option 1 is just ridiculous. And, concerning the M-W pronunciation. . . M-W doesn’t list pronunciations in order of ‘preferred.’ As they explain it, “something” has to be listed first, and that’s just the way it is. The pronunciation with the “th” sounded is listed as also. That’s their way of indicating “You’ll also occasionally hear this pronunciation, but not so much as the other(s) listed.” Without the also, it would mean “you might hear either one of these.” And when it’s mostly confined to a specific region, that will also be noted.
Clodhz. Not close.
Of course I do. And it’s a different -th sound than the -th in “cloth.”
It would be like the “th” in “to clothe.” In other words, voiced, instead of unvoiced. Also, see “ether” vs “either,” which have the same sounds except for an unvoiced “th” in the first and a voiced “th” in the second.
For me, “clothes” and “close” are homophonous, unless I am very carefully enunciating. In rapid speech, I don’t make any attempt at pronouncing the “th.”
Yes, but do you pronounce “close” as in “close but no cigar” the same as you pronounce “close” as in “close the door”? I don’t.
I pronounce it “clothing”.
I do both. When I’m being lazy, it comes out as a near homophone of the verb “close,” but if I’m enunciating, I clearly pronounce the “th.”
I say near homophone because there’s a slight gap where the “th” should be. It’s like my tongue starts to say it, but doesn’t get their fast enough before it needs to start the [z] sound. I’m sure a lot of people do that without noticing they don’t say the sound, hence the high score for the first option.
Southern English .
I pronounce it as “Cloves” .
Of course not. “Close” there is referring to the verb. Sorry for the ambiguity, but it seemed that it was established in this thread that it was that form of “close” being used in comparison with “clothes.”
Yeah, that poster is just incorrect. First, my mouth and to tongue position for both voiced and unvoiced “th” is the same. The only difference is whether my vocal cords are vibrating or not. Second, I do not get my tongue in that position for “clothes.” My pronunciation in spontaneous speech is exactly the same for “clothes” and “[to] close.” I can say it with the voiced “th” if I enunciate or am otherwise paying attention, but my natural way of speaking, it is skipped over.
