Used bomber jackets in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Bombers span military surplus, designer pieces and high-street copies, and which one you have sets the whole price.

Selling a bomber jacket in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the inner label for maker and any contract markings
- Stretch the cuffs and hem to test recovery
Getting it ready
- Check the ribbed cuffs, collar and hem for stretch or loss of elastic, which is where bombers age first.
- Read the composition label: nylon, wool blend, leather and satin bombers are quite different products.

Material, style and size: “MA-1 Nylon Bomber Jacket, Sage Green, Size M”. Material is the price driver here and the search term. If it is a genuine military issue or a recognised brand, put that in the title — both are searched deliberately.
Light and easy to post, and folds small. A mailing bag is fine unless it is leather, which is worth boxing.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 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 bomber jacket in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Is the lining intact?
Turn it inside out and check under the arms. Satin linings split there and it is worth showing rather than hiding.
Are bomber jackets worth selling?
Genuine military surplus and designer pieces sell well. High-street copies sell for modest sums.
Does stretched ribbing matter?
Yes, it is very visible and cannot be restored. Buyers check cuffs and hem before almost anything else.
