Makes me wonder: What about jewelry? shoes? scrunchies? nail polish?
All of these objects are something I have considered. I believe John Bytheway is working on a book that will focus on this very subject.
I am not one to say yes that all of these items are resurrected; but if you have a donation you can drop in my paypal then maybe I can check with my source again.
Sophocles wrote:Or is there some magic going on where Moroni speaks in his native earthly tongue, or even some glorified Celestial language, and Joseph Smith hears English—like how the Tardis translates everything its passengers see and hear in alien worlds? (Surely Darth J will be along with a more applicable analogue from D&D.)
Comprehend Languages (Alteration) Level: 1 Components: V, S, M Range: Touch Casting Time: 1 round Duration: 5 rounds/level Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: One written object or speaking creature
Explanation/Description: When this spell is cast, the magic-user is able to read an otherwise incomprehensible written message such as a treasure map (but not a magical writing, other than to know it is "magic") or understand the language of a speaking creature. In either case, the magic-user must touch the object to be read or the creature to be understood, and the spell does not enable the spell caster to write or speak the language. The material components of this spell are a pinch of soot and a few grains of salt. The reverse, Confuse Languages, prevents comprehension or cancels a Comprehend Languages spell.
Sophocles wrote:... Speaking of which, where did Moroni learn Elizabethan English? ...
He learned it from God of course.
God speaks Bible English - haven't you read his word as recorded in D&C? Bible English is of course a living language, and changes slowly over time (not very fast, because speech in Heaven is mostly a monologue from God), which explains why God's language as spoken to Joseph Smith has shifted a bit from the version used by King James's men.
Reading the latest transmissions from Warren Jeffs, one can detect further changes in celestial usage. Isn't is wonderful?
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

"He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen; nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrist; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare. I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom."
Moroni is supposed to be a resurrected being. If so, where did he get his clothes? Was he resurrected with the robe he had on when he died, or is there some kind of Deseret robe-making operation staffed by resurrected couple missionaries?
I don't care the robes. Resurrected beings can be naked or dressed as Nǃxau.
How he could be identified?
Have had he a name-tag? Or a t-shirt?
When Moroni introduced himself, did he pronounced the "i" in his name as that letter/sound as in fill, find or first?
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco - To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

It was fashioned by the gods in heaven. It is a resurrected article of clothing.
You are welcome.

Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)
Did you know a resurrected being appeared to Mario Fortuny and taught him the art of micro pleating? Nobody has since been able to figure out how he did it.

The presence of clothing like this on an apparition is one of the things that flashes warning lights spelling out 'someone is imagining this on the basis of the local religious stereotypes of their culture, including the fashions they saw in religious illustrations'.
