Second-hand men’s clothing in Paterson typically sells for $5 to $200. Brand, cloth and cut set the price, and a jacket with a working buttonhole and a full canvas is worth several times a fused one that looks similar on the hanger.
Buying men’s clothing in Paterson
Paterson was the first planned industrial city in the country, built around a large waterfall harnessed for mills, and it produced silk on a scale that gave it a nickname. It is dense, diverse and has a substantial immigrant population.
Anything that may need altering is worth buying nearby, because the fit has to be judged before the work is worth paying for. Having the seller present to say what has already been taken in saves a wasted trip to a tailor.
What to check in person
Feel the cloth between your fingers for weight and recovery, since a tired wool goes limp and never presses properly again. Look at the seat and inner thigh of trousers, where shine appears long before a hole does.
Collecting it in Paterson
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 city is dense and street parking is genuinely tight, so confirm where a vehicle can stop before agreeing to collect anything large. Rail connects to the larger city nearby.

A highly mobile immigrant population means households form and clear frequently and completely. Dense housing means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
Say how many times it has been worn and whether it has been dry cleaned, which buyers here genuinely ask. Point out shine, thinning or a repair openly, and keep the suit bag, spare buttons and any matching pieces together. Suits and coats move in autumn and around interview season; shirts move all year.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
