When you use an InputField you cannot bind it to formula fields. You need to create an instance of the Cloth__c, have it accessable as a public attribute, then bind it to the inputField on your VF Page.

 

When you do a field like Product2.Contacts__r.Cloth__c, Apex / SOQL is treating this as a Forumla Field becuase its calculating that value at runtime from the parent record fields. You cannot update Formula Fields, so a inputField will not bind to that value.

 

Its simple enough to resolve as I said. When you query for the Product2 table, also Query for the Contact records based on Contact__c filed on the Product. Store those Contacts in your controller, and bind your inputFields to those Contact records.
