What holds its value across Paul Smith

Tailored suits and jackets, which are the core of the business and are genuinely well made
Pieces with the signature multi-stripe lining or trim, which is the house detail buyers recognise
Shirts in the distinctive prints, which are made in smaller runs than plain stock
Leather shoes and accessories, which are well constructed and repairable

What pulls Paul Smith resale value down

Altered tailoring, which limits a jacket or suit to buyers of that exact size
Shine on the elbows and seat of worsted suiting, which is permanent wear and cannot be pressed out
Faded linings and prints, which lose the colour the pieces are bought for
Missing spare buttons and suit bags, which buyers of tailoring expect

Identifying and dating yours

The interior label names the line, since the main collection and the diffusion ranges sell at different prices
Photograph the lining, because the multi-stripe is the detail that identifies the house at a glance
Measure the chest, shoulder and sleeve flat, as tailoring is bought on measurements rather than labelled size

What lifts any oxford shoes, whatever the label

Oxfords are the most formal shoe and the one buyers most expect to be able to resole.

Welted construction from recognised makers
Closed lacing with clean, unstretched facings
Uncracked leather across the vamp
Original trees and box

And what pulls one down

Cemented construction
Stretched or gaping lacing facings
Cracking at the flex point
Heavily worn heel blocks

Working out what yours is worth

Check for a welt stitch line at the sole edge
Look at the lacing facings for gaping
Flex the vamp for cracking

What to state in the listing

Size as marked with equivalents, and width fitting if given
Upper leather and sole material
Toe style, and whether the shoe is welted
Sole, heel and lining condition

Brand, style and size: “Black Oxford Shoes, Cap Toe, UK 8, Leather Sole”. Say leather or rubber sole, since it matters for formality and for grip, and cap toe versus plain toe is a real distinction for formal wear.

Preparing and photographing it

Polish them thoroughly, including the welt and the heel edge, which is where a quick polish misses.
Check the sole and heel for wear and look for a welt stitch line indicating they can be resoled.
Check the lining at the heel, which wears through and is uncomfortable once it does.

The pair side on, polished, standing
Both soles and heels
The closed lacing system from above
The inside label and heel lining, plus any scuff, crease or worn edge

When it sells best, and handing it over

Lifts before wedding season in spring and before Christmas. Formal shoes worn once for an occasion are the strongest listings.

Post boxed with paper inside to hold the shape. Include the box and shoe bags where you have them, which buyers of formal shoes appreciate.

What buyers ask

Does altering a suit reduce its value?

It narrows the buyer pool to people of that size, which usually means a lower price. Quote the actual measurements rather than the original label size.

What should I photograph on a tailored jacket?

The lining, the shoulders, the elbows and the inside label. Elbow shine and shoulder shape are what buyers assess and neither shows in a flat-lay.
