Before requesting resale stock: write a clear clothing lot brief

A clear stock brief helps you decide whether a trade clothing lot suits your business before you request it. Start with your customers and selling format. “Mixed vintage clothing” leaves more unanswered questions than “Adult casualwear for an online shop, with labelled sizes and space to photograph each item”.

Write down the points that would change your decision:

• Garment mix: tops, bottoms, outerwear or a stated combination, including anything you cannot use.
• Sizing: the labelled range you need and how you handle inconsistent or missing labels.
• Condition: the wear, marks, repairs or missing components you can realistically process.
• Quantity and timing: how many pieces you can inspect, store and prepare, plus your preferred delivery window.
• Uncertainty: which details need a written answer or clearer photograph before you commit.

Keep requirements separate from preferences. A particular colour mix might be flexible; a need for complete fastenings may be essential. A grade name alone does not answer every condition question, and photographs of examples do not necessarily describe every piece in a mixed lot.

On Vrool, open Resellers B2B and read the actual lot description before using its request controls. Follow the current reservation, review and invoice instructions shown there. A question in this forum is not a reservation, and a stock brief does not guarantee availability, a chosen brand mix or a resale margin.

Which single stock detail would make the biggest difference to your first clothing lot decision?
