New with Tags is the highest of the five condition grades on WishThrift. At this grade menswear is listed across the full range for the category, $5 to $202 (about £4 to £150), because nothing has been discounted for wear. Tags attached and unworn, with the basting still in the vents and the pockets on a jacket. Cutting the basting does not itself mean worn.
Where the line falls
Menswear is judged on the shoulder first: a jacket that fits the shoulder can be altered everywhere else, and one that does not cannot be fixed at any price.
For comparison, one step down is Like New Menswear.

Listing at the New with Tags grade
Give the shoulder, chest and sleeve measurements with the tag in shot. The shoulder figure decides whether a buyer bothers reading the rest.
Shots that carry the most weight in menswear:
- Blazer — Front on a hanger, buttoned, shoulders sitting properly
- Bomber Jacket — Front on a hanger, zipped, full jacket in frame
- Brogues — The pair side on, polished, standing
- Cargo Pants — Front, laid flat, whole leg in frame
On a typical $104 listing, a marketplace charging 20% takes $21, one charging 13.6% takes $14 and one charging 10% takes $10. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $104. Listing is free.
