Tops
Mostly cotton and cotton-blend short and long sleeves; flannels concentrate in winter mixes.
Graded on collars, cuffs and underarms; formal shirts sold separately where volumes allow.
Wholesale used men's clothing bales.
Wholesale used men's clothing bales, graded A, B and C and sorted by garment type and season. 6 categories, each available as graded bales for sorting houses and wholesale buyers.
Knitwear & Layering
Wool, acrylic and cotton knits with fleece and jersey layers; strongly winter-weighted.
Checked for moth damage, pilling and stretched cuffs. Wool-rich knits can be split out as a premium line.
Outerwear
Heavier, higher-value pieces; leather and wool coats are often sorted into their own bales.
Zips, linings and leather condition decide the grade. Winter jacket bales are a common standalone order.
Bottoms
Denim-heavy; shorts and lightweight trousers dominate summer mixes.
Jeans are graded on wash, wear at hems and crotch, and brand. Denim bales are usually ordered separately.
Workwear & Specialized
Durable cotton drill and polyester work garments, often from UK and European collections.
Logos and hi-vis compliance vary; sold as utility stock, mostly Grade B and C.
Underwear & Sleepwear
Thermals, sleepwear and robes; underwear is only traded where the destination market permits it.
Hygiene-sensitive category: check import rules for your market before ordering.
ReferenceHow we grade
Primary sorting
Collected stock (credential: as it comes out of banks and shops) is opened and separated into broad streams: clothing, shoes, bags and accessories, household textiles, and non-textile contamination removed.
Grade A, B and C
Each stream is graded on condition, style and brand into Grade A (cream / premium), Grade B (standard commercial) and Grade C (utility / low grade). Grade definitions are written into every Ragtrail contract, because the words alone mean different things to different sellers.
Tertiary sorting
Graded stock is sorted again by category (garment type, gender, age), by season (summer, winter, mixed) and by fabric, so a buyer can order exactly what their market sells: for example Grade A men's winter jackets, or Grade B children's summer mix.
Non-rewearable processing
Items that cannot be worn again are not mixed into wearable bales. Cotton-rich textiles are cut into wiping rags; the rest goes to fibre recycling (shoddy, insulation, felt). Footwear that cannot be paired or repaired is processed separately.
