Sell Your Blazer in the US

Used blazers in the US typically sell for $20 to $94. Blazers are judged on construction and shoulder fit, because those are the parts a buyer cannot alter cheaply.

Very dated lapel widths and shoulder shapes

Selling a blazer in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Working out what yours is worth

Pinch the lapel to feel for a floating canvas layer
Measure the shoulder width and chest

Getting it ready

Check the lining, the shoulder pads and whether the vents and pockets are still tacked shut.
Look for shine on the elbows and seat of the sleeves, which is where wool blazers wear.

Put in the description

Single or double breasted, and the number of buttons
Whether it is part of a suit, and any wear at elbows or cuffs

Fabric, cut and size: “Wool Blend Single Breasted Blazer, Navy, Size 40R”. Include the shoulder measurement in the description — it is the one dimension a tailor cannot fix, so it decides whether the blazer is usable at all.

Lifts in autumn and around interview and wedding season in spring. Classic navy and grey sell steadily; bold patterns move slowly.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $94 a buyer pays is the $94 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 blazer in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

What is the shoulder measurement?

Measure straight across the back from seam to seam. Shoulders cannot be altered affordably, so this is the decisive number.

Can a blazer be altered to fit?

Sleeves and waist yes, shoulders not really. That is why shoulder measurement is the most important figure in the listing.

How do I check for moth damage?

Hold it up to a bright light and look through the cloth. Small holes are easy to miss in normal light but obvious this way.
