Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for older heritage brands), Poshmark (good for luxury casuals), and Grailed (if marketed under 'Vintage' or 'Sartorial' categories).
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Heavyweight' and 'Soft Flannel' in the title. Take clear photos of the neck label and the engraved buttons. Provide 'Pit-to-Pit' and 'Length' measurements as vintage Façonnable often fits slightly boxier than modern slim-fit brands. Use keywords like 'Eurocentric', 'Classic Prep', and 'Outdoor Luxury'.
