18. Clothing:

Torn shirt/jacket: The Keriah is not done after hearing of the death but rather only prior to the start of the funeral [i.e. prior to the corpse being removed from the funeral home or house]. See Chapter 6 Halacha 1C for the full details of this subject

Leather shoes:[1] It is permitted for the Onen to wear leather shoes throughout Aninus, until the start of Aveilus, after the burial.[2]

Freshly clean and new clothing:[3] An Onen may not wear new, or wear freshly laundered, clothing just as is the law during Shiva. See Chapter 19 Halacha 11G for further details on this subject!
