Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent a silk gown to 'Umar, whereupon 'Umar said:
You sent it to me whereas you said what you had to, say (i.e. it is forbidden for men). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: I did not send it to you so that you might wear it, but I sent it to you so that you might derive benefit from its price.
