Yes, I have a double breasted coat similar to the navy twill one they currently have on their website - same back length of 120cm, I'm 182cm tall, for the reference - but mine is more traditional looking and has slightly heavier wool.

It's great and easy to wear over a suit or jacket, and carries a lot of drama when moving

1. $1500 is what the jackets typically run for when purchasing directly from the brand, 2. The jacket is unavailable elsewhere, 3 Open to negotiations, 4. Your individual budget does not nullify an items value, & 5. If you’re reliant on these sales you probably shouldn’t be shopping the brand. Crazy, I know...

Who's the delusional one.

Best regards

Still you man, this price point is above what’s usually seen in here. It’s all good but I would recommend checking some older posts to get an idea what price it should be.

As I've stated, I am open to negotiations. However, again, your individual budget does not nullify an items value. Its delusional to suggest otherwise. Moreover, its insulting to the brand.

Just because you paid $X at retail doesn’t mean it retains that valye at the resell market. For example Ralph Lauren Purple label is like $2k for jackets but average sales on eBay or Grailed are less than $800.
One could argue that because it’s unavailable and therefore rare that could be valuable. But Husbands is known to replicate the same cut and fabric for MTO (check their instagram) So anybody could reasonably go and ask for the same jacket for about the same price as what you’re selling.
You are right that someone’s budget has no impact on what you should price your items at. My comment wasn’t a reply to yours or even in reference. Yet the fact that you felt personally attacked shows that you know that your item isn’t inherently worth that much. Like come on telling someone along the line of “if you’re poor you shouldn’t shopping this brand” is elitist.
If you felt I was calling you delusional then I’m sorry but if you plan on having a future in reselling clothes then look towards sneaker resellers. Disregarding the market will make sure it will be a short and unprofitable one.

Sealoen,

I am open to negotiations. You seem to be missing an important component to the initial thread. But I will gladly have this conservation: The items belonging to Ralph Lauren Purple Label are not niche products. Purple Label (despite its differentiation, Italian craftsmanship) belongs to a conglomerate that is known for low cost productivity in Asia. Anyone selling to the general secondhand market would understand this which is why prices are significantly dropped. As for Husbands, there are resellers who in part want to earn a profit but simultaneously seek to respect the brand's market practice because it is an independent brand with a singular vision in menswear tailoring. In this case, I want to comply with Gabard and his team's efforts by structuring cohesion between the boutique and secondhand market. This is in order to keep their efforts afloat.

I did not say I was personally attacked. It is not rational to presume such. The item is in fact worth $1500 because that is the marked price on the brand's e-store. However, for the fourth, fifth time? Negotiations are open. You absolutely should not be shopping a brand that you cannot afford at regular price because of attitude towards its products. This entitled rationale in mocking the point of a garment's initial price is disrespectful to the seller, to the product, but most importantly to the brand. Those 60, 70% sales you speak of are typically found on multi brand retail sites that prioritize removing items from their stock. Individuals such as yourself are the reason smaller brands do not survive. $1500 for a suit jacket is relatively low for the quality and point of reference provided by Husbands. You seem to have an interest in this brand. My advice to someone who may not be able to afford the brand at full price: think about how your actions as a consumer support the brand's bottom line, not tear it down. I am not looking for a "future in reselling" if that means complying to an attitude that disrespects artistic pursuit for mere commodity's sake. I'm not even so sure I want to sell the item. I am by no means relying on this potential profit. But if I were, a buyer who's desire perceivably falls in line with veneration for the product is of interest on this end.

Sincerely,
The Elitist

Hello everyone,

Your discussion brings up an interesting point about the value of an item. In this case, this jacket cost approximately $600, considering both the craftsmanship involved in its creation and the price of the fabric. Naturally, the buyer also had to pay additional VAT, which goes to the state, as well as a markup to Husbands for their unique stylistic proposition. However, the seller of this jacket is neither entitled to collect VAT nor responsible for the stylistic value added by Husbands, and therefore, cannot justify including these in the sale price.

What remains is the garment’s intrinsic value, which is around $600, perhaps $700. It’s important to remember that the second-hand clothing market operates under very different rules compared to sectors like watches or classic cars, where objects can retain or even increase in value.

To put things into perspective, at the price being asked (1500$), anyone on this forum could find exquisite bespoke suits by Caraceni, Attolini, and others, crafted from exceptional fabrics, entirely handmade, and following the highest and most demanding tailoring standards.

Of course, everyone remains free to sell and buy a garment at the price they want, we are in a free market after all.

Wishing you all a great day ☀️

Can’t honestly say your hubris is helping you here. You can search the forum for more examples of people selling pieces off. Also most of us are MTO or MTM buyers. A second hand RTW piece would be easier to just order direct from Husbands with a better guarantee.

I would recommend checking other examples that are pricing it in a better place. In my experience, people in here tend to be pretty good about buying fairly.
