Dickies Gloves Resale Value

Dickies gloves: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across Dickies

• The 874 work pant, whose permanent crease and twill weave have been unchanged for decades and which is searched by that number alone
• The Eisenhower jacket, a cropped waist-length cut that has no real equivalent from the other workwear houses
• Duck canvas chore coats in the older heavier weights, which soften with wear rather than thinning
• Japanese-market and skate-shop exclusive releases, which were produced in small runs and are searched by drop

What pulls Dickies resale value down

• The permanent crease pressing out, which on an 874 is the detail the trouser is bought for and cannot be reinstated at home
• Twill that has gone shiny at the seat, which is friction polish on the weave and does not wash out
• Bar tacks pulled loose at the pocket corners, which is where work trousers give way first
• Modern mass-market pieces sold through discounters, which are inexpensive new and have a very shallow used market

Identifying and dating yours

1. The fit code — 874, 873, 894 — is printed on the label and is the entire search term; put it in the title before anything else
2. Photograph the crease line down the leg, since a crisp original crease is what separates a good pair from a tired one
3. Check the bar tacks at each pocket corner and photograph any that have pulled

What lifts any gloves, whatever the label

Gloves sell on material and whether they are a genuine pair, and leather condition is what buyers judge.

• Leather and cashmere-lined gloves
• Recognised makers with a following
• Supple leather with no cracking
• Complete matched pairs

And what pulls one down

• Cracked or dried leather at the knuckles
• Split seams between the fingers
• Odd single gloves
• Thin synthetic gloves

Working out what yours is worth

1. Flex the leather at the knuckles for cracking
2. Check every seam between the fingers
3. Measure the hand size or state the marked size

What to state in the listing

• Size, and hand width measured flat
• Outer material and lining material
• Whether they are touchscreen compatible
• Condition of fingertips, seams and lining

Material, size and features: “Leather Gloves, Size M, Cashmere Lined, Touchscreen”. Touchscreen compatibility is a genuine search that is almost never stated. Leather, wool and synthetic are quite different price brackets.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Check every fingertip and the seams between the fingers, which is where gloves wear through first.
2. Confirm they are a genuine pair and both are the same size, and check any lining is intact.
3. Test touchscreen compatibility if the fingertips have conductive thread, and say what you find.

1. Both gloves laid flat together, palms down
2. Both palms up, showing wear
3. The fingertips and seams close up
4. The label with size and composition, plus any hole, split seam or worn patch

When it sells best, and handing it over

October to February is the market, with a Christmas gifting peak. Leather gloves hold value best; knitted gloves are best bundled.

Cheapest possible postage. Send them as a flat pair in a padded envelope, and check both are present before sealing — single gloves are a classic packing mistake.

What buyers ask

What does 874 mean?

It is the model number of the original work pant, printed on the label. Buyers search by it directly, so it belongs in your title.

Can the permanent crease be restored?

Not properly at home. It is set in manufacture, and once it has pressed out the trouser loses the line it is bought for. Photograph the leg so buyers can judge.

How much are Dickies gloves worth?

Roughly £4 to £24 depending on condition, against £4 to £22 for gloves generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £14 for Dickies gloves, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
