Are clothes resurrected?
Joseph Smith describes Moroni thusly:
"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?

Re: Are clothes resurrected?
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'.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

I think that is what we will be doing in the terrestrial kingdom - making clothes for all of the celestial beings. The people in the telestial kingdom have to change and wash the sheets after they are done having celestial sex - gross

Only silk is worn by celestial beings, made by the most skilled cultivators and weavers in the kingdom. It is available dyed in many splendid colors, with intricate embroidery and jewels. The prescribed uniform for angels is pure white, with no decoration.

You mean there are celestial moths, celestial larvae and celestial pupae? You are pulling our collective leg, aren't you?

Makes me wonder: What about jewelry? shoes? scrunchies? nail polish?

Speaking of which, where did Moroni learn Elizabethan English? Do resurrected beings know all languages and their various dialects across time and space? Or did he have to study and learn Elizabethan English on his own before visiting Joseph? Maybe with resurrected beings knowledge and skills can simply be downloaded into the mind, like on the Matrix.
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.)

It's obvious: Moroni was using a prototype of BYU's new translation app.
