How to Submit
Email photos to will@nostos.market - include the front and back of the tag, the graphic in full natural light, and the collar/cuff construction. These photos let us authenticate and grade before you travel.
Single-stitch tees: the critical detail is the sleeve seam construction. A side-by-side of the armhole stitching tells the era better than any tag.
Pricing Vintage Apparel
NOSTOS prices vintage clothing against Depop, Grailed, and eBay completed sales for equivalent condition and era. Deadstock commands a significant premium. Single-stitch construction, Champion "C" bar tags, and documented era graphics all add value. We can walk you through the grade applied to each piece.
