Tracing back to the 15th century, wearing vintage clothing was a stigma that people were painfully aware of. It placed them in the lower social classes because of their looks.
On the contrary, wearing old clothing during wartime was patriotic. This is because it was passed down through families. It was, most certainly, rarely purchased.
