Can used temple clothing be given to another?

Question

Hi Gramps,

I have a friend who has two sets of temple ceremonial clothes and he wants to give me one.  Since he has used both, he’s not sure if he can do that. Is it ok? Thanks.

Answer

Hi Edson,

Yes, members of the church may give temple clothing to other worthy endowed members of the church.

LDS Church Handbook 2: 21.1.42  Temple Clothing and Garments

“Members may give garments and temple clothing that are in good condition to other worthy endowed members. The bishop can identify those who might need such clothing. Under no circumstances should members give garments or temple ceremonial clothing to Deseret Industries, bishops’ storehouses, or charities.”

Thanks.
