Fred Perry Kids Coats Resale Value

Fred Perry kids coats: 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 Fred Perry

• The M12 twin-tipped polo, the signature garment, which buyers search for by that model code rather than by description
• Made in England production, printed on the care label, which carries a clear premium over the standard overseas line
• Collaboration pieces, particularly with Raf Simons and Comme des Garcons, which were made in small runs and trade well above the mainline
• The Harrington-style bomber jackets, which are the second thing the label is known for and sell steadily

What pulls Fred Perry resale value down

• A frayed, lifted or partly unstitched laurel wreath, which is the identifying feature and the first thing a buyer looks at
• Stretched or wavy collars on the polos, the normal failure and the reason most used ones sell cheaply
• Faded twin-tipping, where the contrast stripe at collar and cuff has gone dull and the whole point of the garment with it
• Current mainline basics in common sizes, which compete directly with a new one in a sale

Identifying and dating yours

1. The model code is printed on the interior label — M12 is the twin-tipped polo and is worth putting in the title
2. The care label gives the country of manufacture, and Made in England is the version buyers pay more for
3. The laurel wreath should be tightly embroidered with the leaves clearly separated; buyers compare it against reference photographs

What lifts any kids coat, whatever the label

Children’s coats are outgrown in a season, so most are structurally fine and the zip is the usual failure.

• Recognised outdoor and kidswear brands
• Working zips and intact cuffs
• Waterproof coats with functioning coatings
• Bundles by size and season

And what pulls one down

• Broken zips, the most common fault
• Cuff fraying and stained sleeves
• Delaminated waterproof coatings
• Listing winter coats in spring

Working out what yours is worth

1. Run the zip fully several times
2. Check the cuffs and collar in daylight
3. State the age and chest measurement

What to state in the listing

• Brand, age or size label, plus chest and length measured flat
• Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither, and whether it is lined
• Zip, popper and hood condition
• Any stain, tear or repair, stated plainly

Brand, type, size and season: “Regatta Waterproof Kids Coat, Age 5-6, Fleece Lined”. Brand matters more than people expect on outdoor kit, and words like waterproof, padded and fleece lined are all real searches for parents shopping by weather rather than by style.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Wash or wipe it down according to the label, and reproof anything waterproof if it has stopped beading.
2. Test every zip and popper, and check the cuffs and hood for wear.
3. Measure chest and length flat, because age labels vary enormously between brands.

1. The coat flat or on a hanger, front, whole
2. The back and the hood
3. The zip fully closed and the cuffs
4. The label showing brand and size, plus any stain, tear or worn patch

When it sells best, and handing it over

Strongly seasonal. Winter coats sell from September to December and waterproofs in spring and autumn. A padded winter coat listed in May will sit, so hold it until autumn.

Light and compressible, so postage is cheap. Vacuum bags reduce the parcel size on padded coats and cut the volumetric cost significantly.

What buyers ask

What is a Fred Perry M12?

It is the model code for the original twin-tipped polo, the garment the label is built on. Buyers search for it by that code, so a listing that says only ‘Fred Perry polo’ misses a large part of the audience.

Is Made in England Fred Perry worth more?

Yes, noticeably. The Made in England line is a separate, higher-specification production and the care label states it plainly. It is worth naming in the title.

How much is a Fred Perry kids coat worth?

Roughly £8 to £37 depending on condition, against £8 to £35 for kids coats 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 £22 for a Fred Perry kids coat, 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.
