It depends on the terms of his agreement with the previous owner. Nevertheless, you might make a claim with your homeowners/renters insurance policy if the clothes had substantial value.
The new owner should consider accommodating you (or meeting you in the middle) as a practical matter, if he wants to keep your business. It probably would be worth it for him to do so.
