But is there a quote that would literally say that the clothes turned into stone with the trolls or is that a question of interpretation?

I think the line "very luckily, before he was turned to stone" is proof that his clothes turned to stone.
I don't think that his clothes were skin. Then they wouldn't even be clothes. It seems pretty specific that they actually had clothes. Maybe they turned to stone just because Tokien decided to make it that way. Same thing with the Ring and invisibility. It seems that it would be something that if you were going to write about it could go either way so just pick the way that better suits your purposes.
