A Clothes Library

With all of us racking our brains about how to 'do more with less' we can take some form of inspiration from this story on TreeHugger:
.
"I once met a man who told me of an interesting way to always get free clothes and never have to do laundry. He told me about Goodwill's two week return policy. He would buy all his clothes at a Goodwill store, return them after 13 days for a store credit, and then start the cycle again. I was a bit shocked, but impressed at the same time. What he did wasn't illegal, and it wasn't wasteful either. No new clothes were ever made for him, his laundry was done in bulk in large efficient machines (assuming the clothes didn't just go right back on the rack), and the returned clothes were made available to outfit a new body. Brilliant! His friends must have thought he had a giant wardrobe, never repeating an outfit.
