If we can see evidence of feathers, we could see evidence of clothes too.

The only evidence of feathers we have is of the places where the feathers attached to the bones, as far as I know. I haven't heard of any direct evidence of feathers.

Who said they didn't strip naked before they died? I mean, that's the way I want to go anyway.

Well it’s only until fairly recently by some very lucky presevations that we have larger scale evidence of feathers outside a couple species.

And most of it is based on the middle part of the feather. Not the fluffy part that would be more like clothes.

if they had metal buttons, they'd show up in the fossil record
