Pricing menswear for a live auction

Condition and fabric move the number. Lots move the room.

delivery

Packing and posting menswear

Clothing survives almost anything except damp. One plastic bag is the whole defence.

Describing the condition of menswear

New with tags, new without tags, excellent, good, worn — and the measurements that make them mean something.

What is your menswear worth?

Fabric and condition, measured rather than sized. Most of it is worth more as a lot.

Photographing menswear

Flat, square on, with the tape measure in the frame. The numbers are the listing.

delivery

Delivering menswear: courier, local or collection

Light, compressible and forgiving. The only real decision is what a lot weighs.

buying

Questions to ask before bidding on menswear

Measure it flat. A size is not a measurement, and an altered garment is neither.

Getting the size right when buying menswear

Measure a shirt you already like. That one habit is worth more than any size chart.

Storing and caring for menswear

Wool wants air and a moth deterrent. Everything else wants a dry cupboard.

Building a wardrobe from second-hand menswear

Measure one shirt you love. Everything after that is arithmetic.

Common mistakes selling menswear

Giving a size instead of measurements, and never mentioning the alteration.
