Abu Sa'eed Narrated from:
When The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ), Would Wear A New Garment He Would Mention What It Was, Whether An 'Imamah, A Qamis, Or A Rida', Then He Would Say: Allahumma Lakal-Hamdu, Anta Kasawtanihi, As'Aluka Khairuhu Wa Khaira Ma Suni'A Lahu, Wa A'Udhu Bika Min Sharrihi Wa Sharri Ma Suni'A Lahu'" ('O Allah! For You Is The Praise, You Have Clothed Me, I Ask You For Its Good And The God For Which It Was Made, And I Seek Refuge In You From Its Evil And The Evil For Which It Was Made.) [Abu 'Eisa Said:] There Are Narrations On This Topic From 'Umar, And Ibn 'Umar.Another Chain With Similar Meaning. And This Hadith Is Hasan Gharib Sahih.
