Question
I know that one can purchase an item of clothing during the nine days if it is on sale (hephsed mamon). My question: If the item is NOT on sale but will not be available after 9 Av in a particular size or style (due to limited quantities, for ex.), can one purchase it during the nine days???
Answer
Yes, you can buy it, but do not wear it.
