Used suits in Hamilton typically sell for C$57 to C$285 (about $40 to $200). Suits sell modestly unless the cloth and construction are genuinely good, which most buyers can assess from a few details.
Selling a suit in Hamilton
Hamilton has a steel and manufacturing history and has absorbed a great deal of movement out of Toronto in search of cheaper housing. Tools and workshop equipment have a genuine local market, and the older housing stock means full-size furniture fits.
Arrivals from Toronto typically move from a condo to a house and buy furniture to fill it, while the industrial base keeps tools and equipment turning over independently of the housing market.
The city sits on and below an escarpment, and which side of it someone is on is worth establishing before agreeing anything heavy. Driving and parking are otherwise easy compared with Toronto.
Hamilton, in Ontario, has around 570,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hamilton
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
What suits are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised cloth mills named on the label
- Matching trousers with unworn seat and hems
What pulls it down
- Fused construction that has bubbled at the lapel
- Very dated cuts and lapel widths
Working out what yours is worth
- Pinch the lapel to feel whether there is a floating canvas layer
- Hold it to the light to check for moth holes
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.

Put in the description
- Jacket shoulders, chest, sleeve and length
- Trouser waist, inside leg and rise, and whether hemmed or with turn-up allowance
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.
