Price by condition
Same Woolrich, different condition grade
Baseline resale for Woolrich is $40–$180. Apply the modifier for each condition grade to get what your specific piece should actually fetch.
| Condition | Multiplier | Expect to sell for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deadstock / NWT | 1.3–1.8x | $143–$198 | New with tags or never worn. Commands the top premium; ship with tags visible in photos. |
| Excellent | 1.0–1.2x | $110–$132 | No visible flaws, clean, no pilling or fading. The baseline benchmark for the brand's sold-price range. |
| Very Good | 0.75–0.95x | $83–$105 | Minor wear — light pilling, very faint wash fade. Still clearly presentable; honest photos sell it. |
| Good | 0.5–0.7x | $55–$77 | Clearly pre-owned with visible wear. Disclose flaws upfront and photograph them — undisclosed flaws = returns. |
| Fair | 0.25–0.4x | $28–$44 | Significant wear, fading, pilling, or minor flaws. Works for vintage buyers who prioritize the piece over the condition. |
