Where to Buy Button-Downs Wholesale: 39 Live Lots From $33
Last updated: September 2026
Bottom line: the live shelf on Closo Wholesale currently lists 39 button-downs lots, priced $33 to $4,399 each ($0.46 to $22.00 per unit), shipping from Florida and California. See the live shelf: Button-Downs lots for resale.
That $0.46-to-$22.00 per-unit spread separates two very different sourcing goals. Near the floor, a buyer is likely looking at basic men's or women's button-downs by the hundred, suited to a low-price resale storefront. Near $22.00 a unit, the lot is probably a smaller batch of name-brand or better-condition pieces, suited to a curated resale shop.
Both buyers are asking where to buy button-downs wholesale, and both are filtering the same 39-lot shelf by price rather than shopping separate storefronts.
Every one of the shelf's current 39 lots is an assortment lot — no itemized manifest — which is typical for apparel sourced from thrift and recycled-clothing channels rather than retail overstock. That makes the written description and photos the primary source of truth on this category more than most.
Florida and California: what the ship-from split means
Lots on this shelf ship from one of two states, Florida or California, each with its own freight lane to the rest of the country. Check the specific listing's ship-from state before comparing landed cost across two otherwise similar lots.
Three Suppliers Carry the Most Button-Downs Listings Right Now
Bottom line: Thrift Vintage Fashion, Chase (USA) International and American Recycled Clothing carry the most listings among the shelf's 39 live button-downs lots. They are today's deepest listings, not the only sellers of this category on Closo Wholesale, and the roster shifts as thrift and recycled-clothing channels turn over inventory.
Buyers researching where to buy button-downs wholesale should treat these three as a starting filter, then check the live shelf directly for the full current list.
1. Thrift Vintage Fashion
Thrift Vintage Fashion sources button-downs through thrift and secondhand channels, which typically means a wider mix of brands, eras and conditions inside a single lot than a single-retailer overstock batch would carry. That mix suits a reseller building a curated vintage or workwear listing, where variety is a feature rather than a problem.
Because every lot on this shelf is currently an assortment lot with no itemized manifest, read the condition grading in the description closely — thrift-sourced apparel spans a wider condition range than unsold retail stock.
2. Chase (USA) International
Chase (USA) International lists button-downs alongside broader apparel categories, and lot sizing here can run larger — case-pack and multi-dozen lots are common in this channel.
Before ordering, confirm the actual per-piece unit count stated in the listing rather than assuming a case count from the title alone; wholesale apparel listings sometimes describe a case size separately from the total pieces in the lot, and the two numbers are not interchangeable.
3. American Recycled Clothing
American Recycled Clothing, as the name signals, works the recycled and secondhand-apparel channel — a similar sourcing model to Thrift Vintage Fashion but a separate supplier with its own grading standards. Lots here suit buyers comfortable sorting a mixed-condition batch rather than expecting uniform, like-new stock.
Check the ship-from state before ordering: the shelf overall ships out of Florida and California, and freight costs differ meaningfully between the two coasts depending on your delivery address.
Why button-downs skews toward secondhand and recycled channels
Unlike the halloween or overstock categories, where unsold retail inventory dominates, the current button-downs shelf is built entirely from assortment lots — 39 of 39 — reflecting how much of this category's wholesale supply comes from thrift, recycling and secondhand-apparel channels rather than direct retail overstock.
That is not a red flag; it simply means manifests are rare here and grading language in the listing matters more than it would in a category built on unsold new goods.
Sizing your first order
With lots spanning $33 to $4,399, a buyer new to this category should start small. A $33 to $150 lot is enough to see how a specific supplier grades condition and sizes a mixed batch, without much capital exposed if the mix turns out narrower than expected.
Move up toward the $1,000-plus range only after a completed order from that supplier gives you a real read on their grading standard, since one supplier's "good condition" note can differ noticeably from another's.
What to check before ordering from any of them
With 0 of the shelf's 39 lots currently manifested, read the seller's condition and grading notes closely regardless of supplier, and ask for additional photos on anything you are ordering above a few hundred dollars.
Check the supplier's record on the Closo supplier registry before committing to a larger order, and use Closo Payment Protection rather than an off-platform wire — escrow protects you if the received lot does not match the description, which is the main risk in a secondhand-sourced category like this one.
Quick tangent — the live shelf on Closo Seller Hub shows what is actually listed and priced right now; worth a look before your next order.
39 Live Lots, Three Suppliers, One Table to Compare Them
Bottom line: the table below compares Thrift Vintage Fashion, Chase (USA) International and American Recycled Clothing on the same three criteria, using only figures published on the live shelf. Closo Wholesale does not publish a per-supplier price breakdown, so treat the table as a starting filter and confirm exact numbers on the specific listing before ordering.
| Supplier | Typical lot focus | Where lots ship from | What to verify first |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thrift Vintage Fashion | Mixed-brand, mixed-era secondhand button-downs | One of FL / CA per listing | Condition grading and era/brand mix |
| Chase (USA) International | Larger case-pack and multi-dozen lots | One of FL / CA per listing | Actual per-piece unit count vs. case size |
| American Recycled Clothing | Secondhand and recycled apparel channel | One of FL / CA per listing | Grading standard and mixed-condition tolerance |
| Shelf-wide range (all suppliers) | $33 – $4,399 per lot; $0.46 – $22.00 per unit | Florida, California across the shelf | All 39 lots are currently assortment-only, no manifest |
💡 Closo Wholesale lists each lot with its unit count, ship-from state and, where the supplier provides one, the manifest — and every order is paid into escrow and released only after you accept delivery. Learn more →
Reading the $33-to-$4,399 spread
A $33 lot and a $4,399 lot both count among the 39 live listings, so price alone signals lot size more than supplier quality. A reseller testing the category should filter toward the low end; a buyer stocking a storefront should filter toward the high end and expect a larger, more varied batch.
Per-unit price is the sharper comparison across suppliers: $0.46 a unit points to bulk basics, while $22.00 a unit points to a smaller batch of better-condition or name-brand pieces.
Florida vs. California ship-from
With only two ship-from states on this shelf, the comparison is simpler than in other categories, but freight still swings landed cost meaningfully on a larger lot. Anyone asking where to buy button-downs wholesale from the East Coast should weight Florida-origin lots for delivery speed; West Coast buyers should do the same with California-origin lots.
No manifests here — grading language is the real differentiator
All 39 lots on the shelf are currently assortment lots, so none of the three suppliers has an edge on manifest availability — none provide one right now. What differs is how each one describes condition and mix in the listing itself.
Read that language as carefully as the price, and ask the supplier directly about size run and brand mix before paying on anything over a few hundred dollars.
Chase (USA) International's case-pack listings deserve a second look
Wholesale listings that describe a "case of 24" or similar packing figure sometimes leave buyers unsure whether that number is the per-unit price basis or the whole lot.
Always confirm the total piece count the price actually covers before you calculate a per-unit cost yourself, rather than dividing the lot price by the case-pack number printed in the title — the two are not always the same figure, and getting this wrong is the single most common pricing mistake buyers make on case-pack apparel lots.
Next Step: Filter the Live Shelf by Condition and Ship-From
Bottom line: with 39 button-downs lots live from $33 to $4,399, the fastest way to answer where to buy button-downs wholesale is to filter the shelf by budget and read the grading notes, since none of the current lots carry a full manifest. Set a price ceiling, check whether the lot ships from Florida or California, and read the condition description closely before you pay.
Before you place your first order
Check the supplier's record on the Closo supplier registry, and pay through Closo Payment Protection rather than an off-platform wire, especially on anything above a couple hundred dollars. A $33 to $150 starter lot from Thrift Vintage Fashion or a similar supplier is a reasonable way to test grading standards before scaling to a $1,000-plus order from the same source.
