Ok so now I have a serverscript inside of a part with the click detector and the id value. The instance is in the character, but doesn't display on the character.

01local part = script.Parent
02local detector = part.ClickDetector
03local id = part.Id
04clothingType = "Pants" --Change to "Pants" or "Shirt"
05 
06detector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
07    if player.Buy.Value == true then
08 
09    else
10        local char = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
11        local findClothing = char:FindFirstChild(clothingType)
12        if findClothing then
13            findClothing:Destroy()
14            if clothingType == "Shirt" then
15            local newShirt = Instance.new("Shirt")
16            newShirt.Name = "Shirt"
17            newShirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..id.Value
18            newShirt.Parent = char
19            elseif clothingType == "Pants" then
20            local newPants = Instance.new("Pants")
21            newPants.Name = "Pants"
22            newPants.PantsTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..id.Value
23            newPants.Parent = char
24            end
25        else
26            if clothingType == "Shirt" then
27            local newShirt = Instance.new("Shirt")
28            newShirt.Name = "Shirt"
29            newShirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..id.Value
30            newShirt.Parent = char
31            elseif clothingType == "Pants" then
32            local newPants = Instance.new("Pants")
33            newPants.Name = "Pants"
34            newPants.PantsTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..id.Value
35            newPants.Parent = char
36            end
37        end
38    end

Explanation

The issue isn't with your script, but with what you place into the ID value. When a piece of clothing is created, there are actually two assets created. Not only is your clothing (in the form of an XML file) uploaded, but an image of your clothing is also uploaded.

Whenever you add clothes to a character in-game, Roblox expects you to place the image ID into the Template property, which is why it errors when you use the clothing ID. It's attempting to read the XML file as an image at runtime, which ends up throwing an error.

Solution

Before doing any of this, make sure to install BTRoblox.

In order to get an image ID from a piece of clothing, click on the piece of clothing you want to add into your game. Right next to the name of the clothing, there should be an icon that resembles a photograph. Clicking on it should send you to the library page for the image, which you can then get the ID of from the URL.

EDIT: I know this answer is not about scripting, but it's still some important information that not many people know about.

EDIT 2: Here's proof your script works. I used the same script as shown in the question, and the only thing I changed was the ID value.
