Selling a suit in Edmonton
Edmonton has some of the coldest winters of any major North American city and an economy built on energy and services. Serious winter clothing is a necessity rather than a seasonal purchase, and indoor hobbies and equipment have a correspondingly deep market.
Energy employment drives the larger cycle and the university adds an academic one. Anything for the outdoors moves in a short, intense summer window and then vanishes for the rest of the year.
Driving is easy and parking is plentiful, so collection is simple whenever the weather allows. For several months a year it does not, and both sides are usually glad of a garage or an underground car park.
Edmonton, in Alberta, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edmonton
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
What suits are worth
What lifts the price
- Canvassed rather than fused construction
- Generous inlay allowing future alteration
What pulls it down
- Shine on the seat and elbows from wear
- Very dated cuts and lapel widths
Working out what yours is worth
- Pinch the lapel to feel whether there is a floating canvas layer
- Measure the chest, shoulder and inseam rather than trusting the label
Getting it ready
- Measure the jacket shoulders, chest and length, and the trouser waist, inside leg and rise.
- Check whether the trousers have been taken up or let out, and whether there is turn-up allowance left.

- The lining, plus any shine, pull or stain
Put in the description
- Fabric composition and whether it is two or three piece
- Lining condition, and any alterations already made
Fabric, colour and both sizes: “Wool Two Piece Suit, Charcoal, Jacket 40R Trousers W34 L31”. Give both sizes in the title, because a suit that fits the chest but not the leg is no use. Say two-piece or three-piece explicitly.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
