I know that wearing hand me downs was common in history. I've worn plenty of hand me down clothes when I was a baby/growing up. But currently, where circumstances aren't pressing, I refuse to wear clothes worn by somebody else. I can be a bit of a germaphobe, so that probably explains most of it

No. But I never claimed to be self-consistent or rational, did I now?

It's an odd hill to die on - I doubt the production line in Bangladesh or India would any less "dirty" than the person wearing clothes before you.
