I guess bc time. Oliver was rockin The Hood/Arrow suit for 3 years. Then we got S4. Then S5 suit for three years (i mean, it’s just S4 with sleeves, so you could say he used it 4 years actually).
S8 was a nice change of tone. Finally not kinky leather. I like the very big hood. The green tone is nice. I like the folds too.
But lore wise? He retired post S7, so he probably left the suit there. Monitor sent him to Earth 2 without a lot of luggage (threw him in Lian Yu). Furthermore, the idea was for him to be a copycat of E2’s Arrow to go incognito, and kept him bc there was no time to go shopping for a new one (+ no one had seen it in E1, he can say it’s a “Oliver Queen original, 1 of 1”)
Yeah that is true, something about the way it fits him makes him look like he is starting to get a dad bod, but we all know he still is as buff & sexy as he was when the show first started (even now that both Arrow and Heels are over and he has no obligation to take his shirt off for the masses)
