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?

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])
Then by the middle to late Miocene (5–13 mya) they had spread to Eurasia.
