What a used hoodie is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for hoodies, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £45 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £38 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £29 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £20 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £11 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a hoodie
- Recognised streetwear and vintage labels
- Heavyweight fabric that has kept its structure
- Intact drawstrings, cuffs and hem ribbing
- Original printed or embroidered graphics with no cracking
What lowers it
- Bobbling and thinning at the elbows and cuffs
- Cracked or peeling printed graphics
- Stretched-out ribbing that no longer recovers
- Unbranded basics, which sell for very little
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check the neck label for brand and production era
- Inspect cuffs and hem for stretch and bobbling
- Photograph any graphic close up to show its condition
Once you have those three answers you can place your own hoodie on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Are used hoodies worth selling?
Branded and vintage ones are. Plain unbranded hoodies sell for very little, though listing costs nothing so it is still worth trying.
Does cracked print reduce the value?
On modern hoodies yes. On genuine vintage pieces, some cracking is expected and does not put collectors off.
How do I stop a hoodie looking tired in photos?
De-bobble it, press the shoulders and hang it properly. It takes minutes and changes the impression completely.
