handwavium keeps 200 year old clothes fresh and clean!
The spell Katrina did not only takes care of his body but his clothes! Maybe that's her favorite look on him and he keeps trying to change clothes and they always morph into that outfit.

Did he have tenure at Oxford in the 18th century?
Oooh! Certainly someone at Oxford acknowledges him, and he may be assuming his room and board is some version of military support, and Abbie has had other things on her mind, and someone (else) mysterious is covering his bills and everyone thinks somebody else has taken care of it!

He did look to be covered in salt or something similar when he first woke up. If Katrina's spell can keep someone in a state of stasis for 230 years, I have no problem with it similarly preserving his clothing.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I vote Jilli guest stars as Ichabod's personal stylist to find him some slightly fresher period-appropriate clothing.
OKAY I LIKE THIS IDEA.

It's very convenient.
As long as the ponytail stays, I won't complain. Although I would be okay with more shirtlessness, too.

Does he have clean underwear? Shouldn't we have a scene of his trying to figure out modern underwear?
The ponytail or queue is much more period appropriate than the scenes with his hair loose.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
He had to have the costumer sew in rigid bits along the shoulders and spine, at least for a while.
Aha! Mison can be pretty slouchy in out-of-costume interviews.
