Vintage Track Jackets by the Kilo: 2026 Reseller Guide
Share
The KiloBox Track Jacket Vintage is a 5, 10 or 20 kg box of only track jackets and zip-up sweatshirts from sports brands — Nike, Adidas, Puma, Reebok, Kappa, Sergio Tacchini and others on rotation — hand-selected in Grade A. It costs 119,00 € for 5 kg, 229,00 € for 10 kg and 439,00 € for 20 kg. With an estimate of roughly 2 items per kilo, the indicative cost per item ranges from 11 to 12 €. It is designed for those who resell '90s-2000s sportswear on Vinted, eBay or in a vintage shop and want a single-category lot, not a generic mix.
What's inside the KiloBox Track Jacket
The contents are a single product category: track jackets, meaning full-zip tracksuit tops, and zip-up sweatshirts from sports brands. No t-shirts, no trousers, no filler items. The brands listed on the product page are the ones that rotate through the lots: in one box Adidas and Kappa may dominate, in the next Nike and Puma. No brand is guaranteed in a specific quantity, and the box is not put together to order.
Sizes are mixed, from S to XXL, and every piece is unique: in second hand there are no duplicates. The reference period is the '90s and 2000s, the era when track jackets were everyday wear and not just technical clothing.
The estimate of 2 items per kilo depends on the fabric: an acetate track jacket weighs less than a heavy cotton zip-up sweatshirt. On 10 kg expect roughly 18-22 pieces, not a fixed number.
How much it costs per kilo and per item
These are the list prices (VAT included, as you see them on the site):
| Size | Price | €/kg | Estimated cost per item (2 items/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | 119,00 € | 23,80 € | about 11,90 € |
| 10 kg | 229,00 € | 22,90 € | about 11,45 € |
| 20 kg | 439,00 € | 21,95 € | about 11,00 € |
The 5 kg size is for trying out the lot, the 10 kg one is the typical reseller size, the 20 kg one gives the best yield per kilo. The cost per item is an arithmetic estimate based on the list price and the average weight, not a guaranteed figure: with many heavy sweatshirts there will be fewer pieces, with many light acetate jackets more. Shipping is free in Italy on orders from 139 € and across Europe from 249 €, islands excluded.
Why track jackets are a category that works
A single-category box has a practical advantage over a mix: you already know how to photograph, measure and describe every piece, because the items are all of the same type. Track jackets photograph well laid flat or on a hanger, have few points to check (zip, cuffs, collar, logos) and an audience that is looking for exactly that item, often by brand and colour.
The vintage sportswear market is described in our guide on '90s sportswear: Adidas track jackets with the three stripes, Nike ones with the embroidered swoosh, Kappa ones with the repeated figure on the side band and Sergio Tacchini tennis jackets are among the most recognisable items of the decade. To date and authenticate individual pieces use the dedicated guides to Adidas and Nike, which explain labels, logos and codes by era.
What to check when you open the box
Grade A means items ready for resale, with no holes, tears or major stains; some light signs of wear can occur, and there is a 10-15% tolerance on the declared grade. The difference between the grades is explained in the guide Grade A and Grade B.
On track jackets in particular, check piece by piece:
- the zip: it runs all the way, the slider is original, the zip pull is not missing;
- cuffs and elastic hem: these are the points that give way first on acetate and nylon;
- embroidered logos and side bands: fraying or pulled threads must be declared in the listing;
- the inner label: you need it to date the item and for the real size, which often does not match today's sizing.
To read labels methodically there is the guide on how to recognise genuine vintage from the labels. Before photographing, a gentle wash and a low-temperature ironing make the difference: the procedure is in the guide on how to wash and sanitise vintage clothing.
How to price track jackets for resale
The starting point is the cost per item you calculated above, to which you add processing time, shipping materials and platform fees. The complete method, with the formulas, is in the guide on how to price vintage on Vinted.
Two practical rules that apply to this category: the price is decided piece by piece by looking at sold listings for that brand, model and colour, not on the box average; and pieces with recognisable details (large logos, period colourways, tennis or football models) are photographed and described with more care, because they are the ones that make the difference to the result of the lot. We do not promise margins: they depend on how you work and where you sell.
Who this box is for and who it is not for
It suits those who already have an active sportswear or streetwear profile and want to feed it with a single category, those who have a vintage shop with a '90s corner and those who sell on eBay abroad, where track jackets from European brands like Kappa and Sergio Tacchini have an audience of their own.
It is not suitable for those looking for a varied assortment to fill a profile from scratch: in that case the Mix Brand Kilo Box is the most sensible starting point. And if you have never bought by the kilo, first read the guide on what a Kilo Box is and how it works.
Frequently asked questions
Which brands are in the KiloBox Track Jacket?
Sports brands on rotation: Nike, Adidas, Puma, Reebok, Kappa, Sergio Tacchini and others. The composition changes from lot to lot and no brand is guaranteed in a specific quantity. The box is not put together to order.
How many items are there in 10 kg of track jackets?
Roughly 2 items per kilo, so about 20 pieces in 10 kg. It is an estimate: cotton zip-up sweatshirts weigh more than acetate jackets, so the actual number varies with the lot.
What does Grade A mean for track jackets?
Items ready for resale as they are: no holes, tears or major stains, working zips. Some light signs of wear can occur, with a 10-15% tolerance on the declared grade.
Can I choose sizes or a single brand?
No. Sizes are mixed from S to XXL and brands rotate with the lots. The price per kilo relies precisely on the fact that the selection is by category, not by individual piece.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is free in Italy on orders from 139 € and across Europe on orders from 249 €, islands excluded. Below these thresholds the cost is calculated at checkout.
