Matthew 03:04 - Were John the Baptist and the Prophet Elijah the same? They definitely dressed the same!

Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Matthew 3:4

They answered him, "He wore a garment of haircloth, with a girdle of leather about his loins." And he said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite." 2Kings 1:8
