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 puffer jacket, whatever the label
Puffers are judged on fill quality and baffle integrity, and a single tear in the wrong place changes the picture completely.
- Genuine down fill with a stated fill power
- Baffles intact with no leaking feathers
- Recognised outdoor and fashion labels
- Original stuff sack where supplied
And what pulls one down
- Tears and pinholes leaking down
- Synthetic fills sold as down
- Compressed fill that no longer lofts after washing
- Discoloured light-coloured shells
Working out what yours is worth
- Shake it out and check whether the fill lofts evenly
- Look for feathers escaping at the seams
- Check the composition label for down percentage and fill power
What to state in the listing
- Fill type and, for down, the fill power and down/feather ratio
- Pit-to-pit and length, laid flat
- Whether the hood is detachable and whether it has a fur trim
- Any baffle tears, leaks or repairs
Put the fill in the title, because it is the search and the price driver: “The North Face 700 Fill Down Puffer Jacket, Black, Mens L”. Down fill power is a number buyers know. If it is synthetic, say so plainly rather than letting a buyer assume down and be disappointed.
Preparing and photographing it
- Read the inner label for the fill: down and feather percentages, or polyester wadding. This one detail sets the price band.
- Check every baffle for leaking feathers and look for small tears, which puffers get constantly and which are cheap to patch.
- Test the zip along its full length and check the hood, cuffs and any drawcords.
- Full front on a hanger, zipped, so the loft shows
- The inner composition label, legible
- The hood and cuffs, and the baffles from an angle to show loft
- Any tear, leak point or stain, close up
When it sells best, and handing it over
A short autumn and winter season, strongest October to December. Selling in spring typically costs a third of the value, so storing until autumn is usually worth it.
Bulky but light. A vacuum bag shrinks the parcel dramatically and cuts postage — just tell the buyer it was vacuum-packed so they know to let it loft again.
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 puffer jacket worth?
Roughly £28 to £140 depending on condition, against £20 to £100 for puffer jackets generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
