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 Palace
- Pieces carrying the Tri-Ferg logo, which is the mark the brand is recognised by and the one buyers search for
- Collaboration releases, particularly the sportswear and heritage partnerships, which were produced in smaller numbers than the main line
- Early-season pieces from before the label’s wider recognition, which are treated as archive rather than as used clothing
- Original hoodies and tees in unfaded colours, since the print and the colour are what the garment is bought for
What pulls Palace resale value down
- Cracked prints, which is the standard end for screen-printed streetwear and is not repairable
- Faded colours from hot washing, which takes the life out of the graphics the piece exists for
- Counterfeits, which are common enough that buyers ask for tag photographs as a matter of course
- Missing or cut-out interior labels, which remove the detail buyers use to place the garment in a season
Identifying and dating yours
- Photograph the interior neck and wash tags flat, since these carry the season code buyers use to date the piece
- Name the drop and year in the listing where you can, because that is how this market is actually searched
- Photograph the Tri-Ferg print close up — alignment and ink quality are where copies fail
What lifts any cap, whatever the label
Caps are collected at the branded end, and the brim and crown shape matter more than general condition.
- Recognised sportswear and streetwear labels
- Vintage caps with period logos
- Unbent brims where the style intends it
- Clean sweatbands with no staining
And what pulls one down
- Sweat staining on the band and crown
- Cracked or peeling printed logos
- Misshapen crowns
- Promotional and unbranded caps
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the sweatband for staining
- Photograph the front logo close up
- Note whether the fit is fitted, snapback or adjustable
What to state in the listing
- Brand, style and any model code
- Fitted size or closure type: snapback, strapback, fitted
- Brim shape: flat or curved, and whether the sticker is still on
- Sweatband condition and any staining or fraying
Brand, style and size: “New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap, 7 1/4, Navy”. Style codes and fitted sizes are searched exactly. Say whether it is fitted, snapback or strapback, since those are separate searches.
Preparing and photographing it
- Check the brim for creasing or cracking, and the sweatband for staining.
- Clean the sweatband and the front panel, which is where caps get grubby.
- Note the closure type and the size or fitted measurement.
- The cap from the front, showing the logo
- The side profile, showing brim shape
- Inside, showing the sweatband condition
- The closure and size tag, plus any stain or fray
When it sells best, and handing it over
Steady with a summer lift. Collectable and team caps sell year round; generic caps sell slowly.
Small but must not be crushed. Stuff the crown with paper and use a box, not a bag, or it arrives flattened.
What buyers ask
Does the season matter when selling Palace?
Yes, more than condition in many cases. Pieces are released in small weekly drops, so buyers search by season and collaboration rather than by garment type.
How should I wash printed streetwear?
Cold, inside out, and hung to dry. Heat is what cracks screen prints and fades the colour, and both of those are permanent deductions on resale.
How much is a Palace cap worth?
Roughly £8 to £49 depending on condition, against £6 to £35 for caps generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
What the fees would take elsewhere
