I know starter jackets runs small, and back in the day jackets were short in the body. I recently sold a Penguins starter jacket and if I remember correctly, if a Starter jacket was a youth, doesnt it say Youth Large? This one doesnt say Youth, but I am concerned by the size that it is either an adult Large and it runs small, or it is a Youth.

Your thoughts?

Most all will say youth, the parkas & pull overs don't run as small as the satin bomber jackets though. The satins run about a full size smaller.

Generally
Small 21-22 pit to pit
Med 22-23"
Large 24-25"
XL 25-27
XXL 27-29"

And length is about 24" on small and only up to about 26" on XXL

That's for the satins

Question: Do you guys wash the t-shirts you pick up before you sell and ship them? Or do you just sell/ship as is if it looks clean?

I wash about two thirds of what i get. If it is clean, wrinkle free, not covered in hair, no spots, doesnt smell funny, or otherwise new, then i dont wash it.

most people will wash the item they get unless it was brand new. But even then some people still wash before wearing.

Big shout out (hey I never actually said those words before) to Astroburn! I finally sold my first T-shirt!!! I'm guessing my selecting ability is not the greatest, but I must be getting better, got a bid on a 2nd shirt today. Thanks for all your help and others on here as well. I nevr considered washing them before listing them. Figured it would just cause a little more fading. Maybe I will try that as well.

No problem. Glad I could help.

On a side note, I also hang dry everything, to avoid any more shrinkage, and use a lint roller during my picture process to make sure i get any hair or lint balls off.

The Quebec Nordiques starter is probably a pretty good one. You'd be surprised. Is it 100% wool???

Any thoughts on this Adidas jacket track jacket I picked up this morning? First shot at a thrift shop flip. Paid $5.
