There's point in clothes for dandies (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dudes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for dandies' is the definition.
('dude' can be a synonym of 'dandy')

'there's point in clothes' is the wordplay.
'there's point' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'clothes' becomes 'duds' (duds is a kind of clothes).
'e' put into 'duds' is 'DUDES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dudes that I've seen before include "American dandies or city dwellers" , "American blokes" , "Civilians, to a cowboy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
