Second-hand men’s clothing in Bath typically sells for £4 to £150 (about $5 to $200). Cloth from a named mill carries a premium that survives changes in style, and the weight and weave are what experienced buyers judge first. A garment that has never been altered is worth more, because it still suits the widest range of people.
Buying men’s clothing in Bath
Bath is a Georgian city built in honey-coloured stone around Roman baths, and the whole city is a World Heritage Site. It has two universities, a substantial tourism economy and some of the most expensive housing outside the capital.
A stated waist or collar measurement tells you very little about how a garment actually sits, since cut varies enormously between makers and between decades. Ten minutes in front of a mirror decides it in a way no set of numbers can.
What to check in person
Check the shoulder seam sits on your actual shoulder, because that is the one thing a tailor cannot easily fix. Look at collar and cuff edges for fraying, check the lining of a jacket at the armhole, and try the trousers rather than trusting the waist size.
Collecting it in Bath
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The centre has severe vehicle restrictions and the streets are Georgian and narrow, so arrange anything large for outside it. The city sits in a steep bowl, so ask about steps rather than only the floor.
Selling your men’s clothing in Bath free
Two universities clear student housing every June. Georgian housing turns over with genuinely old contents, and the city’s affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out.
Have it pressed and on a proper hanger for the photographs, since creased tailoring reads as neglected however good the cloth is. State the fibre content from the label and name the maker exactly rather than approximately. Suits and coats move in autumn and around interview season; shirts move all year.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
