Typically clothing items, like some ornamentals, are small and often lost during usage. Eyewitness accounts state that QAR was stranded on the sandbar for a few hours prior to abandonment, suggesting the crew had time to leave with their belonging. Therefore the occurrence of clothing items is expected to remain low, yet a few have been recovered. Various items fall in the apparel category because they are related to clothing, including straight pins, and footwear.
