Used suits in Amritsar typically sell for ₹3,850 to ₹19,000 (about $40 to $200). Suits sell on the jacket and trouser measurements together, and the fastest way to lose the sale is not saying whether the trousers have been altered.
Selling a suit in Amritsar
Amritsar is a major pilgrimage and tourism city close to the border, with long-standing trade in textiles and food. The constant flow of visitors supports a lively commercial market, and winters are cold enough to matter.
Pilgrimage seasons bring large temporary populations and the trade rises with them. Winter clothing turns over on a clear annual cycle because the cold here is real.
The area around the main religious sites is congested and largely pedestrian, so collection is arranged away from it. The rest of the city drives easily.
Amritsar, in Punjab, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Amritsar
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.
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
- 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
- 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.
- Inspect the lining, the crotch seam and the seat, and have it dry-cleaned if it looks tired.

- A tape across the trouser waist and the hem showing any alteration
Put in the description
- Trouser waist, inside leg and rise, and whether hemmed or with turn-up allowance
- Fabric composition and whether it is two or three piece
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.
