Pri Megadim 551:20 writes that it would be permitted to wear a new shirt on Shabbat Chazon. Biur Halacha 551:6 s.v. kelim agrees and compares it to wearing freshly laundered clothing on Shabbat Chazon which is permitted. However, Magen Avraham 551:6 and Mishna Brurah 551:9 state that wearing new clothing on Shabbat Chazon is forbidden. Igrot Moshe explains that the Pri Megadim and Biur Halacha are only talking about when one doesn't have any other laundered shirts, then it would be permitted to wear a new one.

#One may not wear a new suit that would require a Shehechiyanu on Shabbat Chazon.<ref>Mishna Brurah 551:45 writes that even those who are lenient to make Shehecheyanu on Shabbat during the Three Weeks will agree to be strict on Shabbat Chazon not to wear new clothes (which has a special element of happiness that a new fruit doesn’t have). Sh”t Yechave Daat 1:37 and Torat HaMoadim 5:7 concurs to the opinion of Mishna Brurah.</ref> | #One may not wear a new suit that would require a [[Shehechiyanu]] on Shabbat Chazon.<ref>Mishna Brurah 551:45 writes that even those who are lenient to make Shehecheyanu on Shabbat during the Three Weeks will agree to be strict on Shabbat Chazon not to wear new clothes (which has a special element of happiness that a new fruit doesn’t have).

===Preparing Non-Laundered Clothing=== | |||
#Ideally a person should prepare in advance of the nine days clothing that are not freshly laundered to be worn every day until and including Tisha BeAv. The way to prepare the clothing is to wear the clothing for an hour or two and then change it and put it aside until the nine days.<ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 551:91, Betzel Hachachma 4:138</ref> | |||
#If one didn't prepare enough non-laundered clothing, many hold that it is permitted to prepare one's clothing for the week on Shabbat Chazon by changing one's clothing a few times so that one has enough clothes to wear during the next week.<ref>Orchot Rabbenu (vol 2, p. 130) quoting the Steipler, Betzel Hachachma 4:138, [https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/904155/rabbi-hershel-schachter/halachah-shiur-ncsy-kollel-relevant-laws-to-the-9-days-/ Rav Hershel Schachter (Relevant Laws to the Nine Days)]</ref> Others disagree.<ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 551:91 citing Ben Ish Chai Devarim n. 6 holds that one may not prepare several garments on Shabbat to be considered pre-worn. Rather one can switch one's clothing one's to freshly laundered clothing for Shabbat.</ref> Nonetheless, he shouldn't state that he is doing so to prepare for the next week; such a statement is a violation of [[hachana]], preparing on Shabbat for afterwards.<ref>Betzel Hachachma 4:138</ref> | |||
