Selling a blazer in Nanaimo
Nanaimo is the second city of the island and the main ferry crossing point to the mainland, built on a harbour with a coal-mining past. It is a jumping-off point for the rest of the island, and the marine economy here is ordinary rather than recreational.
Retirement and downsizing supply a great deal of well-kept furniture, and the ferry connection means people moving to or from the mainland sell up rather than pay to ship things across.
The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
Nanaimo, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Nanaimo

What blazers are worth
What lifts the price
- Canvassed or half-canvassed construction
- Working buttonholes on higher-end tailoring
What pulls it down
- Moth damage in wool
- Very dated lapel widths and shoulder shapes
Working out what yours is worth
- Pinch the lapel to feel for a floating canvas layer
- Hold it to the light checking for moth holes
Getting it ready
- Measure shoulder to shoulder across the back, plus chest, sleeve and length.
- Look for shine on the elbows and seat of the sleeves, which is where wool blazers wear.

Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
Is it part of a suit?
Say so, and whether the trousers are available. An orphaned suit jacket is worth less than a blazer designed as one.
