The cloning room reproduce the clothes and gear of the person. Even if you only put a small vial of blood for example, the chamber will create a clone with the memories and gear of the original had when their blood was collected. Yes, it's that powerful.
Also there's still a functional society outside, so they can always go buy more stuff if they don't have any choice.
