Second-hand men’s clothing in Edinburgh typically sells for £4 to £150 (about $5 to $200). Cloth from a named mill carries a premium that survives changes in style, and the weight and weave are what experienced buyers judge first. A garment that has never been altered is worth more, because it still suits the widest range of people.

Buying men’s clothing in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a university and finance city whose population swells enormously every August for the festival, and that single month does more to move second-hand goods here than any other part of the year. Outside it, the Old and New Town tenement stock means most people live in flats and buy furniture to fit them.
Anything that may need altering is worth buying nearby, because the fit has to be judged before the work is worth paying for. Having the seller present to say what has already been taken in saves a wasted trip to a tailor.
What to check in person
Feel the cloth between your fingers for weight and recovery, since a tired wool goes limp and never presses properly again. Look at the seat and inner thigh of trousers, where shine appears long before a hole does.
Collecting it in Edinburgh
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The Old Town is steep, cobbled and awkward for vehicles, with restricted access on several streets, so anything heavy needs a conversation about where a van can actually stop. Trams and buses cover the rest of the city and handle small handovers fine.
Selling your men’s clothing in Edinburgh free
August brings a large temporary population that arrives with things and leaves without them, and September brings the students. Between them the autumn is reliably the best time to buy here and a slower time to sell.
Say how many times it has been worn and whether it has been dry cleaned, which buyers here genuinely ask. Point out shine, thinning or a repair openly, and keep the suit bag, spare buttons and any matching pieces together. Suits and coats move in autumn and around interview season; shirts move all year.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
