Selling a denim jacket in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City sits in a valley between two mountain ranges beside a saline lake, laid out on an unusually generous grid centred on a temple square. World-class ski resorts are within an hour and the city hosted a winter olympics.
Ski and outdoor equipment turns over constantly and knowledgeably here because the mountains are used rather than admired. The universities clear student housing each spring, and technology employment moves households in.
The grid makes addresses genuinely easy to find and driving is straightforward. Winter inversions trap poor air in the valley for days, and canyon roads close in storms.
Salt Lake City, in Utah, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What denim jackets are worth
What lifts the price
- Selvedge denim, visible at the outseam
- Intact original buttons and rivets
What pulls it down
- Artificial distressing, which buyers distinguish from real wear
- Fading from storage or sun rather than wear
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the outseam for the coloured selvedge line
- Photograph the fade honestly in daylight
Getting it ready
- Wash it only if it actually needs it. Over-washing kills the fade pattern that makes a used denim jacket worth more than a new one.
- Check every button and the stitching at the cuffs and pocket corners, which is where denim goes first.
Photograph
- Back, which is where fading is most visible and most wanted
- Any flaw close up — a frayed cuff, a missing rivet, a repaired seam
Put in the description
- Length from the base of the collar to the hem
- Whether it is 100% cotton or has stretch, which changes how it fits and who wants it
