How Much Do Wholesale Jackets Cost in 2026?
Last updated: September 2026
Bottom line: wholesale jackets on Closo Wholesale run $99 to $5,499 a lot across 149 live listings, working out to $4.95 to $82.50 per unit, all shipping from California. See the live shelf: Jackets & Coats lots for resale.
That $99-to-$5,499 spread is wide because it covers everything from a small test lot of a few dozen jackets to a full truckload-scale pallet. Of the 149 lots on the shelf, 48 list an assortment breakdown by size or style and none carry a full unit-by-unit manifest, so per-unit price is the number buyers work with, not a packing sheet.
Hanton International, BEAUTIFUL GIANT, and Chase (USA) International are the suppliers with the most lots listed right now.
Where the $99 and $5,499 lots differ
A $99 entry-level lot sits near the bottom of the per-unit range and suits a first-time buyer testing whether jackets sell in their market before committing real capital. A $5,499 lot is a pallet-scale buy aimed at an operator who already has sell-through data and warehouse space, and it still needs the same per-unit math applied before bidding.
$99 to $5,499: The Real Landed Cost of a Wholesale Jackets Lot
Bottom line: a $799 mid-range wholesale jackets lot adds roughly $230 in freight and fees before it reaches a rack, pushing landed cost per jacket from an on-paper $22.83 to closer to $29.41.
Freight, fees, and processing rarely move together, and a buyer who prices only the sticker cost misses the second half of the equation almost every time.
The 149 live lots on Closo Wholesale run $99 to $5,499, all shipping from California, and the table below prices out a low-end $99 lot, a $799 mid-range lot, and the $5,499 ceiling lot through the same five cost lines.
| Cost component | Low-end lot ($99) | Mid lot ($799) | High-end lot ($5,499) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lot price | $99.00 | $799.00 | $5,499.00 |
| Freight (California origin, rule of thumb 10-15% of lot value on LTL) | $12.00 | $100.00 | $715.00 |
| Marketplace selling fees (eBay/Poshmark average ~13%) | $12.90 | $103.90 | $714.90 |
| Payment processing (2.9% + $0.30, industry standard) | $3.17 | $23.47 | $159.77 |
| Packaging & supplies (rule of thumb, $2-$4 per outbound shipment) | $3.00 | $3.00 | $3.00 |
| Subtotal landed cost | $130.07 | $1,029.37 | $7,091.67 |
| Units in lot (approx., using the $4.95-$82.50 per-unit range) | 20 | 35 | 67 |
| Total landed cost per unit | $6.50 | $29.41 | $105.85 |

Why bigger lots don't automatically mean cheaper jackets
The $5,499 lot sits at the top of both the price range and the per-unit range ($82.50), the same pattern seen at the low end where the $99 lot sits near the $4.95 floor.
That is not a coincidence buyers should count on repeating in the opposite direction; a bigger lot buys more jackets, not necessarily a lower unit cost, especially once freight on a heavier pallet is added.
Chase (USA) International and Hanton International, two of the suppliers most represented on this shelf, both list case-scale and pallet-scale lots side by side, so checking the stated per-unit figure against the lot price matters more than assuming size alone drives the discount.
Reading the table before you bid
The subtotal landed cost and the per-unit figure are what decide a bid, not the sticker price. A buyer who compares the $99 lot against the $799 lot on price alone misses that the smaller lot lands at $6.50 per jacket versus $29.41, a nearly 4.5x difference driven by fixed costs like payment processing spreading across far fewer units.
Run this table against any BEAUTIFUL GIANT or Chase (USA) International lot before bidding, swapping in an actual freight quote once the supplier confirms weight, since California LTL rates can move $15-$30 either side of the 10-15% rule of thumb used here.

Where Operators Lose Margin on Wholesale Jackets
Bottom line: none of the 149 live wholesale jackets lots on Closo Wholesale carry a full unit-by-unit manifest, and that single gap is the largest margin risk in the category. Everything else below follows from pricing around it correctly.
Without a manifest, size and style mix is the biggest unknown. A jacket lot skewed toward XL and XXL when a buyer's customer base runs small-to-medium sells through at half the expected rate, turning a $22.83 per-unit cost into an effective $45+ once slow-moving sizes get marked down or bundled to clear.
The fix is not avoiding lots without a manifest — at this price point almost none carry one — it is asking the supplier directly for a size breakdown before bidding, even an informal one, rather than assuming a bell curve.
Seasonality is the second leak, and it is jackets-specific
A buyer who wins a $799 jackets lot in March and lists it cold in a warm-weather market waits months for demand to arrive, tying up capital the whole time.
The 149 lots on the shelf right now do not carry a season tag, so operators need to check style photos for weight and insulation before bidding, not after the invoice is paid. A heavyweight parka lot bought in September sells faster than the same lot bought in April, even at an identical per-unit cost.
Freight is the third leak, and it is a bigger number here than in lighter categories: every lot on this shelf ships from California, and a heavier jackets pallet routinely pushes LTL freight to $15-$30 per $100 of lot value rather than the $10-$15 seen on lighter goods.
An operator on the East Coast who pencils in a flat 12% freight estimate on a $5,499 lot and gets a $900 actual quote has lost more margin in shipping than most sellers budget for the entire transaction. Getting a firm quote from suppliers such as Hanton International or Chase (USA) International before bidding closes this gap.
The fourth leak is holding cost, and jackets carry more of it per unit than lighter apparel because they take up more rack and shelf space per piece. A $799 lot that sits three extra months waiting for cold weather to arrive ties up roughly $1,029 in landed capital, plus the storage footprint that could hold a faster-moving lot instead.
Operators who track sell-through on jackets separately from year-round apparel tend to catch this early: a lot that has not moved 40% of its units within 60 days of the right season starting is a signal to discount immediately rather than hold for full price into a shorter selling window next year.
7-Step Checklist Before Bidding on Wholesale Jackets
With 149 live lots on the shelf ranging $99 to $5,499, a wholesale jackets buyer needs a repeatable pre-bid routine rather than a call made on photos alone.
- Check the per-unit math: divide the lot price by the stated unit count and confirm it falls inside the $4.95-$82.50 range seen across the shelf; anything outside that band needs an explanation first.
- Assume no manifest. None of the 149 lots carry a full one, so price every bid off the upper end of the per-unit range, not the lower.
- Ask the supplier for a size breakdown before bidding, even informal — Hanton International, BEAUTIFUL GIANT, and Chase (USA) International are the three most represented suppliers on this shelf and will typically share one on request.
- Check listing photos for weight and insulation to judge season fit; a heavyweight parka lot bought in September sells faster than the same lot bought in April.
- Get a firm freight quote in writing before bidding. California-origin jackets pallets can run $15-$30 per $100 of lot value, well above lighter-category freight.
- Set a hard ceiling per lot using a 35% margin target: a $799 lot needs roughly $1,390+ in resale value across its units to clear freight and fees.
- Set a 60-day sell-through checkpoint tied to the selling season and mark down at 40% unsold rather than waiting for next winter.
The number to check twice
Landed cost per jacket, not the lot's sticker price, decides whether a bid clears margin — run every lot through the cost table above before entering a number.
Next Step: Price Your Own Wholesale Jackets Bid
Bottom line: run the landed-cost math from this guide against any of the 149 live lots — $99 to $5,499, $4.95 to $82.50 per unit — before placing a bid, not after.
Take the cost table above, swap in an actual freight quote from a supplier like Hanton International or Chase (USA) International, and check the result still clears a 35% margin once size mix and season risk are priced in.
A $99 lot that pencils to $6.50 landed per unit only pays off if the sizes and season match the buyer's market; a $5,499 lot at over $105 per unit needs a very different sell-through plan. The live shelf on Closo Wholesale updates as lots sell, so rerun the seven-step checklist against whatever is live when the bid goes in.
