Maybe I'm misunderstanding L'hermittes sign, but it was my understanding that, by definition, it is head movements causing sensory reactions to travel through the body.

When I experienced it, it was through my hands/arms and lower back each time I bent my head down.

As far as clothing 'triggering' it, I've never heard of it myself. It almost sounds like something completely unrelated to L'hermittes, but I could be very wrong. I just know what my L'hermittes felt like when I experienced it, and it was electrical shock sensations each time I moved my head downwards.
