These are awesome sellers, and I really don't use that word "awesome" very much. The key here is the crest on the front breast pocket. These blazers sell for around $300 new, but you can find them in thrift stores for around 5-$10. This is a Women's item. If you see one that doesn't look like it has been run over by a car, grab it. These are on my mental list of "always look for in a thrift store."
The gold buttons are important, too. Make sure they are all there. Look on the inside tags, sometimes extra buttons will be there. Also look in the pockets. I can't tell you how many times an article of thrift store clothing has been missing a button and the owner just put it in the pocket. Another suggestion, if you find a Ralph Lauren crested blazer that is in bad shape, an it is cheap, buy it. You can take the buttons off and have yourself a little stash for later, in case you find a really good one that needs a button or two. Be prepared and think ahead!
In your listings, show a closeup of the crest - it is a huge selling point.
Here are a few recent listings for Ralph Lauren crested blazers. All of these are "preowned" and probably came from thrift stores.

Thank you for the tip! (add the add!) I am looking forward to all you have to offer and I hope I can add a little from my experiences too! I, too, enjoy hitting the Thrift Stores for great "ebay opportunities!" However, it is usually the "household area." Thanks again!!

ReplyDeleteThis is me screaming and pulling out my hair. I saw one of these Ralph Lauren blazers with the crest...and pulled it off the rack to look at it...but thought to myself--If it weren't for that hideous crest..it would be a nice Ralph Lauren jacket...and put it back! Then I read your post... Thanks! I'll probably never see one again now!
