By a problem, I mean like it might've been used in a church or been worn by a galach. Who knows?


In my case it's a gown which might've been worn to church. It still has the tags and it's a vintage gown from the mid 1900's but still can't be sure it wasn't worn especially it's so old.
Does this even warrant asking a Shailah?

There's a place in Williamsburg that's very trendy, but I can't remember the name. I'll try and find out.

As long as you are not buying a vintage cassock I dont see how that is a problem!
