Malbish Arumim The Human Instinct

Although our clothes are man-made, we thank Hashem for creating the raw materials to make them – wool, flax (linen), cotton, etc. We remember that it is Hashem who has given us the wisdom to produce this clothing, and the money to buy it.

Animals do not have the instinct to clothe themselves; they are equipped with the fur, skin, or feathers needed for their environment. Mankind needs clothes for protection as well as tznius. This bracha is a thank you for something often taken for granted.
