    I think it's way too long, filled with a lot of speculation
    and not information, but thankfully you don't have to
    get very far into it:

    Otzi the Iceman had a very PRIMITIVE kit!

    https://www.iceman.it/en/clothing/

    His "Cape" was made out of grass.

    His hat was sewn so it may seem not quite that primitive
    except...

    https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/found-the-worlds-oldest-sewing-needle

    He didn't have pants, he had animal skin leggings. Um,
    certainly even Neanderthals would have had the
    "Technology" to wrap some animal skins around their
    legs & tie them with... with... anything.

    Maybe they had rope/twine, maybe animal sinew, strips
    of skin... vines...

    His "Shoes?"

    There was like a twine netting holding in grass for
    insulation against the snow, and covered to whatever
    extant in leather.

    It's entirely possible that either these shoes were meant
    exclusively for winter/cold periods, and either something
    else was used for warmer periods or nothing at all.

    Alternatively, they were a "One Size Fits All" deal, with the
    grass stuffed webbing used to "Fill out" the shoes to fit
    whatever sized foot you have.

    QUESTION:

    As primitive as his wardrobe was, what if any of it might've
    stretched back to the Neanderthals or even Heidelberg man?

    Grass capes still worn in Korea.
    Denisova cave had green jade bracelet, ivory headband, bird bone needle, ostrich eggshell beads (no ostrich in Siberia??) all linked to Denisovans.

    The earliest fossils from this genus are from the early Miocene (20–25 mya [million years ago]) and are from Africa, so it is proposed that they originated there. Then by the middle to late Miocene (5–13 mya) they had spread to Eurasia.[7] By about
    12 mya they had evolved into the larger size of which we are familiar. By this time they had spread to Mongolia and later southern Africa.[8] While the relationship of the African fossil species is comparatively straightforward, many Asian species of
    ostrich have been described from fragmentary remains, and their interrelationships and how they relate to the African ostriches are confusing. In China, ostriches are known to have become extinct only around or even after the end of the last ice age;
    images of ostriches have been found there on prehistoric pottery and petroglyphs.[9][10][11]

    Not in this universe.
