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 Ted Baker
- Tailored suits and blazers, which are the strongest part of the label and are bought secondhand specifically for weddings and interviews
- Occasion and cocktail dresses in the distinctive floral prints, which buyers search by print rather than by style name
- Older pieces from before the 2018 restructuring, which were made to a noticeably different standard and are recognised as such
- Pieces still carrying their branded buttons, linings and hanging loops, which are the details that identify the label at a glance
What pulls Ted Baker resale value down
- Pilled or thinned wool on the tailoring, since the whole appeal is that it still looks sharp
- Faded prints on the dresses, where the print is the reason a buyer chose it
- Missing branded buttons, which are distinctive enough that a replacement is always visible
- Anything from the outlet and clearance channel, which was built to a lower spec and sells accordingly
Identifying and dating yours
- The interior label carries the Ted Baker size numbering, which runs 0 to 5 rather than standard sizing and confuses buyers — state the equivalent in your listing
- Branded lining and engraved buttons are the label’s signature and worth photographing close up
- Older garments carry a different label design, which is how buyers date a piece to the pre-restructuring era
What lifts any blazer, whatever the label
Blazers are judged on construction and shoulder fit, because those are the parts a buyer cannot alter cheaply.
- Canvassed or half-canvassed construction
- Natural fibre cloth with a good handle
- Clean shoulders with no divots or pressing marks
- Working buttonholes on higher-end tailoring
And what pulls one down
- Fused construction that has bubbled
- Shine on the elbows and seat of the sleeve
- Moth damage in wool
- Very dated lapel widths and shoulder shapes
Working out what yours is worth
- Pinch the lapel to feel for a floating canvas layer
- Hold it to the light checking for moth holes
- Measure the shoulder width and chest
What to state in the listing
- Shoulder-to-shoulder, chest, sleeve and back length
- Fabric composition and whether it is fully or half lined
- Single or double breasted, and the number of buttons
- Whether it is part of a suit, and any wear at elbows or cuffs
Fabric, cut and size: “Wool Blend Single Breasted Blazer, Navy, Size 40R”. Include the shoulder measurement in the description — it is the one dimension a tailor cannot fix, so it decides whether the blazer is usable at all.
Preparing and photographing it
- Measure shoulder to shoulder across the back, plus chest, sleeve and length.
- Check the lining, the shoulder pads and whether the vents and pockets are still tacked shut.
- Look for shine on the elbows and seat of the sleeves, which is where wool blazers wear.
- Front on a hanger, buttoned, shoulders sitting properly
- Flat with a tape across the shoulders
- The inner label with composition, and the lining
- Cuffs, elbows and any pull, shine or stain
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts in autumn and around interview and wedding season in spring. Classic navy and grey sell steadily; bold patterns move slowly.
Fold along the existing seams with the shoulders turned in, or post on a hanger in a garment bag if you can. A crumpled blazer arrives looking worthless.
What buyers ask
What size is a Ted Baker 3?
Ted Baker uses its own 0 to 5 numbering rather than standard UK sizes, and a 3 generally corresponds to a UK 12. State the standard equivalent and the flat measurements in your listing, because this numbering is the single biggest source of returns on the label.
Does Ted Baker hold its value?
Modestly. It sells steadily rather than at a premium, and the tailoring and occasion dresses do best. Everyday pieces compete directly with the high street and are priced against it.
How much is a Ted Baker blazer worth?
Roughly £15 to £70 depending on condition, against £15 to £70 for blazers generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
