How Many Pieces in a Kilo

How many garments you get in a kilo depends on what they are. Light clothes mean more pieces; heavy clothes mean fewer.

These are averages, not promises. Second hand stock is never the same twice.

Why summer costs more

A kilo of t-shirts is about 5 garments. A kilo of coats is about 3. Summer gives you more items to sell, so it costs more per kilo.

This is the question we get asked most, and it is the one that decides whether a load works for you. Here is what we actually see when we weigh our own stock.

Type of load Pieces in 1kg
Summer tops 7 to 9
T-shirts About 5
Winter mix (coats, jumpers, hoodies) 3 to 5
Children's clothing 12 to 15
Shoes 2 to 5 pairs
All season mix Varies, see below

Why summer costs more per kilo than winter

A kilo of t-shirts is about 5 garments. A kilo of coats is 3. So a kilo of summer stock gives you more items to sell than a kilo of winter stock, and that is why it is priced higher. You are not paying more for better clothes. You are paying more because there are more of them.

Work it out on the item, not on the kilo. At £4 a kilo for First Quality summer, 5 to 9 garments costs you between 45p and 80p each.

Why we will not give a number for all season

An all season load is a genuine mix of light and heavy. One bale might lean towards t-shirts, the next towards jumpers. It sits somewhere between the winter and summer figures above, but we are not going to pretend we can tell you exactly where, because we cannot.

If you need a predictable count, buy summer or winter rather than all season.

These are averages

Second hand stock is never identical twice. Treat every figure here as a guide, not a promise. If you want to see a load before you commit, come to the warehouse. Call 07378 473604 first so someone is there to show you round.

What that means for the price

A kilo of t-shirts is about 5 garments. A kilo of coats is about 3. Summer gives you more items to sell, so it costs more per kilo.

Men's First Quality, summer, at £4.00 a kilo works out at about 44p to 80p a garment.

£4.00 ÷ 9 pieces, and £4.00 ÷ 5 pieces. Averages, not promises: second hand stock is never the same twice.
