#In the Nine Days in particular, it is forbidden to buy new clothes even if there is no Shehechiyanu. <ref>Rama 551:7 </ref> This practice applies to Ashkenazim and also Sephardim.<ref>The Rama 551:7 writes that since it is forbidden to mend a garment during the nine days, certainly it is forbidden to buy a new garment then. The Kaf Hachaim 551:21 explains that according to Shulchan Aruch this is permitted. Shulchan Aruch 551:2 only forbids buying items during the nine days if it leads to happiness such as buying an item for a wedding, but not in general. This also seems to be the opinion of the Ben Ish Chai (Shana Rishona, Devarim no. 2). See, however, Shulchan Aruch 554:22. Mikraei Kodesh (Ben Hametzarim 13:2) quotes Rav Mordechai Eliyahu as being strict about buying garments during the nine days and Rav Ovadia Yosef as being lenient. Yet, Chazon Ovadia (Ben Hametzarim p. 208) seems to accept the custom that one should be strict not to buy new garments during the nine days.</ref> | #In the Nine Days in particular, it is forbidden to buy new clothes even if there is no Shehechiyanu. <ref>Rama 551:7 </ref> This practice applies to Ashkenazim and also Sephardim.<ref>The Rama 551:7 writes that since it is forbidden to mend a garment during the nine days, certainly it is forbidden to buy a new garment then.

#The Ashkenazic minhag is not to wear new clothing during the Nine Days includes Shabbat of the Nine Days.<ref>Magen Avraham 551:7 and Mishna Brurah 551:9 write that it is forbidden to wear new garments during the Nine Days including Shabbat. Even though the Biur Halacha 551:6 s.v. kelim says it is permitted to wear a new undershirt on Shabbat Chazon, the Piskei Teshuvot 551:26 quotes Rav Sraya Deblitzky in his sefer Tisha Bav Shechal Byom Eched who is bothered by the seeming contradiction in the Mishna Brurah.</ref> | |||
