What's so wrong with preworn clothing?
First of all, people actually spend money to buy "stonewashed" jeans and jeans that have been scrubbed to look used. So why not buy jeans that are, well, you know...used? Many people buy clothes that they regret and forget to return, so you can find a lot of good stuff with the tags still attached in Goodwill as well as consignment places. Many clothes don't get worn much, because kids grow out of jeans, as do adults (ahem). Why let them go to waste just because of delicate sensibilities about someone having worn them? Just toss 'em in the washer. Do it three times if you are spooked.
