Cats have litter box problems for a number of reasons.
It could be a dirty litter box problem. Maybe a new house, along with a litter box that isn't cleaned to his liking could make him go on your cloths.
It could also be a health problems. Before you get rid of him, you should take him to the vet to find out if he's doing this because he's sick. He could very likely be in pain and squatting in the litter box hurts him. Or, he could have to go so frequently that making it to the litter box isn't an option.
I would suggest bringing it to the box every time you think of it. Even though you know that he knows where the box is, it's still a good idea to remind him every once in a while where to go. So, treat him like a kitten and take him there every hour or so, and when he wakes up.
Another idea would be to get a different litter box. If you have a covered box, then try an uncovered box for a while, or, if you have an uncovered box, then try a covered box.
You should also have two boxes. Cats are odd, and with two cats in the house, they will sometimes not go unless they have their own box to go in.
And, like the others have said, you should keep your cloths out of his way so that he doesn't have the option of peeing on them.
Good luck.

I agree with the first answer...keep your stuff in drawers and closets and the cat won't pee there.
Is your cat a male or female?
If it is a male, he is spraying because he wants some female attention... A little pussy... please forgive my pun I just couldn't help it!
Anyway, if that's the case then you need to get the cat neutered.
If it's a female, there isn't much you can do. I don't think spaying her would help that paticular situation.
Try having more than one litterbox. I know they are dirty and gross, but they aren't too bad if you clean them daily.
Good luck!

Well sometimes animals pee on things because they are sick. It is there way of saying it. But sometimes they do it for no apparent reason. Take your cat to the doctor just to make sure nothing is wrong. If nothing is wrong, then I suggest showing the cat that peeing on your clothes is not allowed what so ever. Next time your cat pees on something, take the cat to the area it occured, and then punish the cat. Soray it with a water bottle and say "NO". In time the cat will refer to peeing as getting punished with the water and will stop.
