Selling guide
Selling blazers second-hand
Blazers are bought for a reason — an interview, an office, a wedding — which means the buyer is often in a hurry and has a date in mind. Listings that state the fit and the shoulder measurement clearly get answered first.
Photograph it
Button it and shoot straight on from chest height, so the lapel line stays straight instead of curving away from the lens.
What buyers check
- Shoulder seam to shoulder seam, flat
- Single or double breasted, and how many buttons
- Whether the pockets are still stitched shut
The common mistake
Photographing from above. It shortens the blazer and bends the lapels, which reads as poor tailoring.
