What is gorpcore and is it worth sourcing for reselling?
Gorpcore is the trend of wearing outdoor and technical clothing — fleeces, hiking gear, trail shoes — as casual fashion. Key sourcing targets: vintage North Face fleeces (especially 90s), Arc'teryx, Patagonia (Mountain Bird logo, older synchilla), Salomon trail runners, and Columbia Shell jackets. These sell well on Depop and Grailed. The window is narrowing — gorpcore peaked around 2022–2024. Check current Depop and eBay sold prices before committing at sourcing.

Key things to know for Australian sellers
Australian online selling has its own quirks: GST registration thresholds, Australia Post rate structures, and platform-specific buyer behaviour differ from the US and UK advice you'll find most readily online. Checking ATO guidance directly and using the Australia Post postage calculator for accurate quotes are good starting points.
Using multiple platforms together
Most successful Australian resellers end up selling across at least two platforms. The marginal effort to list on a second platform is much lower if you already have photos and a description, and reaching two different buyer pools meaningfully increases your chances of a sale.
