Regarding a new suit that makes one happy requiring a sheyanu. Is malbush arumim also said? Which comes first? Does one add sheyanu during the birchat hashachar? Or does one make malbush arumim and sheyanu separately?
Answer:
Upon buying a new suit a shehecheyanu berachah is recited. The custom is to recite the blessing upon wearing the suit for the first time.
No extra blessing of malbish arumim is recited, beyond the daily blessing recited each morining. The berachah of malbish arumim was enacted as a daily expression of thanks for the general concept of clothing, and not for particular items of clothing.
