The climax principle asserts that a sequence of similar phrases should be interpreted climactically even if the words and grammatical constructs used do not directly suggest this. That is the fact of the sequence justifies reading into the Biblical text a climactic interpretation even if no other textual source justifies it. For this reason we consider the climax method a distinct and separate method.

Verse Ex12-35b discussing the gifts the Jews received when leaving Egypt is written in a climactic manner as shown. For convenience we have inserted the Rashi comments clarifying the nature of the climax in brackets And the people of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed from the Egyptians
• silver utensils [ ]
• gold utensils [ ]
• garments [ just as gold is more important than silver, so too the clothes were more important and useful than gold. Hence they are mentioned last. ]

Advanced Rashi: Rashi does not clarify further why clothing is more important than gold. Perhaps it is the simple theme that money is an end - the important thing is what you buy with the money.

On a deeper level I think the intent is that Egyptians had special types of clothes which were good for marriages and businesses. Here is one small example. Isiah mentions the exposes clothing. Apparently exposes were clothing with patterns of exposed holes so that a woman wearing them as lingerie would attract her husband. It could be conjectured that the Egyptians had clothing for marriage and business which helped people who wore them achieve their ends. In other words the Egyptians were national leaders in clothing manufacturer and their clothing products were highly regarded.
