Overview

Turn ""Old Clothes"" into New Wealth. The fashion industry is shifting. In a world of disposable fast fashion, the demand for quality, character, and sustainability has made vintage clothing one of the fastest-growing sectors in retail. But moving from a hobbyist ""thrifter"" to a profitable ""dealer"" requires more than just a good eye-it requires a system. The Complete 2026 Guide... is the definitive roadmap for navigating the high-stakes world of garment picking and profitable flipping. Whether you are hunting for 1970s band tees, mid-century couture, or 90s streetwear, Colt breaks down the complex cycle of the vintage trade into actionable steps. What's Inside: The Art of the Hunt: Master the ""Sourcing Pyramid,"" from the chaotic bins of the Goodwill Outlets to the high-margin world of estate sales and private buy-outs. Authentication & Appraisal: How to read union tags, identify ""single-stitch"" construction, and date zippers to ensure you never pay a premium for a modern knock-off. The Restoration Lab: Expert techniques for removing decades-old stains, repairing delicate lace, and reviving ""deadstock"" denim without devaluing the piece. Digital Dominance: A deep dive into platform strategy-choosing between the high-speed turnover of Depop, the professional reach of eBay, or the luxury curation of 1stDibs. Scaling the Empire: How to transition from a one-person operation to a full-scale business, including inventory management, professional photography lighting, and international shipping logistics. ""In the vintage world, you don't find value-you create it through knowledge and curation."" - Colt Hudson
