Sweatshirts

Why the sweatshirt is the most profitable garment

T-shirt and sweatshirt compete on the same ground — entry product, no fine sizing, no marked season — but the sweatshirt sells for considerably more money. Same photography effort, same ease of sale, higher price. If you already have t-shirts working and want to raise your average ticket without changing strategy, this is the category to start with. The only trade-off is weight: fewer pieces per kilo than t-shirts, so the unit cost is higher.

The four lines

Nike + Adidas Mix

The two most in-demand brands in the second-hand market. It's the line with the fastest turnover: the logo is recognisable in a thumbnail and the buyer doesn't need to read the description to click.

Hooded sweatshirts

The brand hoodie is the format most sought after by young buyers and the one that holds its price best on Vinted. It sells more than the crewneck sweatshirt and commands a higher price.

Brand Sweatshirts Mix

A wide selection of well-known brands, with more variety of names and styles. It's the category's entry line. More brand product in the brand bundles.

Track jackets

Retro sports jacket. It sits between this category, jackets and coats and the sport / trainingline, and works as a bridge between sportswear and classic vintage.

The set is worth more than the garment

The sweatshirt is half a tracksuit. Present it alongside the matching tracksuit bottoms and sell it as a set: the price of the pack comfortably exceeds the sum of the loose pieces, and you shift stock that was sitting still. It's the easiest margin play in this category.

How to buy them

Sweatshirts are sold by the kilo, in 5, 10 and 20 formats. As they're heavier than t-shirts, it's worth doing the cost-per-piece calculation before scaling: start with 5 kilos and measure your real ratio. Compare all the formats in sales by quantity and check the full catalogue by type.
