The Postman (1997)

Corrected entry: Costner finds the old mail van with the skeleton inside, still wearing its old uniform. He then takes and wears this outfit. Surely if the original postman had died in the truck still wearing these clothes then his corpse would have rotted away inside the uniform, infestations of maggots, disintegrating flesh, and bloating and bursting innards would have ruined the uniform beyond belief. But not only is it clean and fragrant enough for Costner to wear straight away, it's also dapper enough to get him laid by the couple wanting a baby. (00:44:25)

Correction: No, the postman died up in the mountains after a nuclear war. Given the temperature high in the mountains and (possibly) nuclear winter, the postman could decompose without bloating or maggots due to the cold.
