Used workwear jackets in Australia typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Workwear jackets are bought for durability and for the look, and both audiences want the same thing from you: the fabric weight and an honest account of the wear.

Brand, fabric and size: “Carhartt Duck Canvas Chore Jacket, Brown, Size L”. Workwear brands are searched by name and carry a real premium. Say the fabric weight if the label gives it, and mention blanket or quilt lining where present.
Autumn through spring, with a lift in September. Recognised workwear brands sell year round to a steady audience.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$172 a buyer pays is the A$172 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a workwear jacket in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
How worn is it?
Photograph the cuffs and elbows honestly. On workwear, genuine fade and wear often add appeal rather than reduce it.
Do repairs reduce value?
Honest period repairs often add to the character and are accepted. Crude modern repairs do not.
How do I date a workwear jacket?
The inner label, the button and rivet style and the pocket construction. Photograph the label clearly.
