Books about clothing and their physics?
I wanted to try pic related but I don't know if there is better stuff to learn from first out there

It's not worth buying a book on folds to be honest. You are better off just understanding that drapery is determined by three things--the form underneath it, tension points/slack, and the material it's made out of (thick? thin? stiff?).
Some people classify folds into categories, I think Bridgman is the first I've seen to come up with the 7 fold types, but I actually prefer these drawings to his of them: http://www.mightyartdemos.com/mightyartdemos-bradley.html
So yeah, understand the basic principles behind it, then do studies from life and photos. You will quickly start to understand how clothing typically arranges itself. It's really not as complex as some people think it is.

I hope you're right, anon, because you're making it sound simpler than it might be.

Well it's simple enough, but that doesn't mean it is super easy. To lose weight you just need to eat fewer calories, which is a simple idea but tough to do.
If you already have decent drawing skills though then learning drapery isn't as hard as some people make it out to be. At least in my opinion.
Also drapery is super easy to find ref on, either in life or from photos. So that alone makes it a lot easier.

Well... yeah, that's a no brainer, but that doesn't really help.
Any good book or exercises where I can kickstart?

I didn't find a better book. Heck I didn't find any other book on this theme. Also this book is really good.
Other people make tutorials or dissect drapery into 7 fold types and shit like that BUT they never explain the logic and reasoning behind it. And that is the most important part and this book has it. Even if you hate Hogarth this book is pure gold.
