just found this:
That's a young Oliver Chesler (I'm sure you know him - one of the NYC hardcore/acid OGs) when he was a teenager in a still image taken from the Depeche Mode 101 tour US tour documentary.
I don't know - it just doesn't seem very "thrift store find" to my eyes because whenever I saw people wearing whatever that is, it always seemed kind of like a crisp, new piece of clothing.
This?
Looks like it could be a church related outfit? Either that or a Sheepskin coat which is cool now but not then. I think it's a church gown though, he's like a choir boy?

yeah iono. wasn't actually friends with anyone who dressed like this + can't ever remember seeing them for sale anyplace other than thrift stores? maybe oliver bought his in chinatown? maybe these were sold as chinaman halloween costumes, prior to things like that becoming verboten? anyway, this song fucking rules

it's a "Tang" outfit. worn by people who do Tai-Chi, or New Romantic cosplay apparently.
allow me a minute to be a bit anal about "new romantic" being used as term
late 80s-early 90s is a bit removed from new romantic though
and I don't know who the kid is in the q l video, but I wouldn't call her music new romantic even if it's synthy - same for 88 era dm because the new romantic movement had been over a few years, and dm sounded quite a bit different from their first album which was had already changed a lot on their second after vince clarke left to form yaz/oo and then erasure, and then on their third album when they started incorporating industrial sounds after being inspired by einstürzende neubauten
for example, the epitome of new romantic:
depeche mode in 88:
and dm def weren't still new romantic by the time of violator (~10 years after visage):
(even on the tracks that were all synth, they still had quite a different sound than the synths on the earlier stuff)

in one of the fundemantalist churches were I was pretty much forced to go, that 88 era dm was was as an example of one of the reasons that you shouldn't listen to secular music because it will lead you down to bondage and s&m
that also had a bunch of conspiracy theories about all these different bands (don't ask me to remember)

version got a chuckle from that, but I really meant it seriously in more than just metaphor - you'd be surprised how many randos would come over and comment to me after they saw me slide into the passenger seat of a car after some lady took me out somewhere, like their minds were blown, just totally blown - "wow! you're letting her drive?! umm... yeah, I guess that's the way to do it" - no, I'm not "letting" her do anything! she "lets" herself do what she wants!! and this is her car, and she was taking me out, not the other way around, sucker!!!
and then we'd drive off as their head imploded

it's fucking freezing outside, so cold you basically only go out if you really have to, there's snow about, for some reason this is hitting this morning. always basically impossible for me to know when this wire music is going to click and do something to me and when it sounds totally pointless pissing around
