Grading is an important element, when deciding to purchase clothing or other items from me. I operate a strict grading classification, which involves detailed inspection of all items, followed by an appropriate classification. If you are unsure about anything, just email me. Below are tables, showing my classification structures.
1.

Grading
Clothing |
|
Grade |
Description |
Extra Notes |
|
A+++ |
Brand New with tags |
Unworn, shop-like condition. Never washed or dry cleaned. NOT a factory second. |
|
A++ |
Brand New without tags |
Unworn, shop-like condition. Never washed or dry cleaned. NOT a factory second. |
|
A+ |
Immaculate / lightly used |
Used, lightly worn, immaculate, previously washed or dry cleaned once or twice. |
|
A |
lightly used |
Light to moderate useage, and in very good condition. Previously washed or dry cleaned a few times. |
|
A- |
Moderate useage |
Moderate usage, with some light signs of wear to the cloth or minor color wash fading. Previously washed or dry cleaned a few times |
|
B+ |
Frequent Usage |
Worn many times, light noticeable wear to the cloth – e.g. collar tips, sleeve tips etc - see listing for details. Washed many times. Still a worthwhile purchase |
|
B |
Frequent Usage |
Worn & washed many times, but wearable. Noticeable cloth wear to specific areas, which may require a tailor to repair - at a reasonable cost - I can offer this service. |
|
B- |
Heavy Use |
Heavily worn, colour fading, some specific damage including: holes, bobbling etc (see listing for specifics). I do not sell items of this nature, unless it is a vintage collectable and I feel it is worthy of sale, due to its rarity. |
|
B |
Very Heavy Use |
I do not sell items of this nature |
|
B- |
Unwearable |
I do not sell items of this nature! |
|
Supplementary note – sometimes a garment can be in a high grading category – e.g. A++, but have a fault (e.g. a hole, or missing buttons etc). In this situation, I will still classify the item as A++, but will add the extra information on the actual auction page. At all times I will be as descriptive as possible. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
