Hobbs Resale Value Guides

17 guides to what used Hobbs is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Hobbs sells classic British workwear-adjacent clothing to a customer who keeps things, which is exactly why its pieces turn up used in good condition. Wool coats and the leather footwear are the strongest lines.

Which Hobbs pieces hold their value

Wool and wool-blend coats, which are the line the brand is best known for and which buyers search for by name each autumn
Leather shoes and boots, including the London-branded footwear ranges, which were expensive new and are built to be resoled
Silk and wool dresses in the classic cuts, which sit outside seasonal trend cycles entirely
Neutral and navy pieces, which are the workwear staples the brand’s buyers are actually replacing

And what pulls the price down

Moth damage in wool coats, which is the defining fault on this brand’s strongest category and always has to be disclosed
Worn heel tips and scuffed toes on leather footwear, which are repairable but which buyers price down for regardless
Pilling on wool-blend knitwear, which shows badly on the mid-tone colours the brand favours
Dry-cleaning shine on a coat’s shoulders and seat, which is a permanent flattening rather than a mark that lifts

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Hold wool up to a window and photograph it backlit, so pinholes and thinning are visible rather than described
Photograph the sole and heel tip of any footwear, since that is what tells a buyer how much life is left
Photograph the composition label, because the wool content is what justifies the price against a synthetic equivalent

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Hobbs worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Hobbs sells classic British workwear-adjacent clothing to a customer who keeps things, which is exactly why its pieces turn up used in good condition. Wool coats and the leather footwear are the strongest lines. Each guide below says which Hobbs lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Hobbs?

Hold wool up to a window and photograph it backlit, so pinholes and thinning are visible rather than described. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
