This is wrong. It's elder brothers not elder brother's. 'Those' is a pronoun referring to the clothes. The key issue now is: 'of' is serving a possessive function there; thus, the noun, elder brother, cannot take a possessive 's. Another example of a possessive 'of' is 'house of Michael' and 'Michael's house'. You cannot say 'house of Michael's'
