Yes. I used to get really nice suits from thrift stores and estate sales all the time and just rock them in the street.

Yeah. When my father-in-law died I inherited some of his clothes. Pendelton shirts, Carhartt coveralls, Sorels, etc.

I actually thought this was the situation the OP was referring to.

If they're just the clothes that were left in his closet, what's the big deal? You're breathing air and drinking water that has passed through millions of dead people.

Change it so the dead person is still wearing the clothes, and there is a condition that makes you need them.

Assuming said dead guy wasn't wearing them for weeks while dead, why not? You know the clothes themselves aren't dead, right? They're just clothes.
