Explanation:

- First, arrange the people with their clothing. Note that there are three people between those who wore Cotton and Leather.

- T, who wore Silk, went after C. Since C is not on Monday, C could be either Tuesday or Wednesday.

- Two people are between R and N. N must be early in the week because more people go before N than after.

- R and G did not wear Leather. This helps us place them in relation to the Cotton and Leather.

- Now we place N early in the week (Monday or Tuesday), which means there are more people before N than after.

- Adjusting according to the conditions above, let's say N went Monday, and T on Tuesday. Therefore, T (Silk) went immediately after N, leaving no one between them.

The correct number of people between T and N is Zero.
