this is a good exercise.
i know someone in the business of vintage clothes resale. he swears that high quality vintage clothing does pretty well, that consignment shops get away with prices that the clothes' original manufacturers wouldn't have dreamed of (yes, even accounting for inflation). considering the globalization of manufacturing and general decline in clothing quality, he might be onto something.
Interesting, I think that some of the best ideas for collectible investors are in things that either don't have a market yet, or don't cost much at all.
These both push people away from collecting the thing, and if it can become more culturally relevant over time, the supply of "authentic" items could be pretty low.

don't have a market yet
an addidas hoodie in the 80s probably had no "collectors" appeal, whereas that same hoodie, well preserved, 45 years later just might.
don't cost much at all.
ok, true many clothes are ridiculously expensive for what youre actuelly getting for their utility.
