Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Ted Baker
- Tailored suits and blazers, which are the strongest part of the label and are bought secondhand specifically for weddings and interviews
- Occasion and cocktail dresses in the distinctive floral prints, which buyers search by print rather than by style name
- Older pieces from before the 2018 restructuring, which were made to a noticeably different standard and are recognised as such
- Pieces still carrying their branded buttons, linings and hanging loops, which are the details that identify the label at a glance
What pulls Ted Baker resale value down
- Pilled or thinned wool on the tailoring, since the whole appeal is that it still looks sharp
- Faded prints on the dresses, where the print is the reason a buyer chose it
- Missing branded buttons, which are distinctive enough that a replacement is always visible
- Anything from the outlet and clearance channel, which was built to a lower spec and sells accordingly
Identifying and dating yours
- The interior label carries the Ted Baker size numbering, which runs 0 to 5 rather than standard sizing and confuses buyers — state the equivalent in your listing
- Branded lining and engraved buttons are the label’s signature and worth photographing close up
- Older garments carry a different label design, which is how buyers date a piece to the pre-restructuring era
What lifts any cap, whatever the label
Caps are collected at the branded end, and the brim and crown shape matter more than general condition.
- Recognised sportswear and streetwear labels
- Vintage caps with period logos
- Unbent brims where the style intends it
- Clean sweatbands with no staining
And what pulls one down
- Sweat staining on the band and crown
- Cracked or peeling printed logos
- Misshapen crowns
- Promotional and unbranded caps
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the sweatband for staining
- Photograph the front logo close up
- Note whether the fit is fitted, snapback or adjustable
What to state in the listing
- Brand, style and any model code
- Fitted size or closure type: snapback, strapback, fitted
- Brim shape: flat or curved, and whether the sticker is still on
- Sweatband condition and any staining or fraying
Brand, style and size: “New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap, 7 1/4, Navy”. Style codes and fitted sizes are searched exactly. Say whether it is fitted, snapback or strapback, since those are separate searches.
Preparing and photographing it
- Check the brim for creasing or cracking, and the sweatband for staining.
- Clean the sweatband and the front panel, which is where caps get grubby.
- Note the closure type and the size or fitted measurement.
- The cap from the front, showing the logo
- The side profile, showing brim shape
- Inside, showing the sweatband condition
- The closure and size tag, plus any stain or fray
When it sells best, and handing it over
Steady with a summer lift. Collectable and team caps sell year round; generic caps sell slowly.
Small but must not be crushed. Stuff the crown with paper and use a box, not a bag, or it arrives flattened.
What buyers ask
What size is a Ted Baker 3?
Ted Baker uses its own 0 to 5 numbering rather than standard UK sizes, and a 3 generally corresponds to a UK 12. State the standard equivalent and the flat measurements in your listing, because this numbering is the single biggest source of returns on the label.
Does Ted Baker hold its value?
Modestly. It sells steadily rather than at a premium, and the tailoring and occasion dresses do best. Everyday pieces compete directly with the high street and are priced against it.
How much is a Ted Baker cap worth?
Roughly £6 to £35 depending on condition, against £6 to £35 for caps generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
