Credential Clothing Without the Full Truckload.
Buying credential clothing directly traditionally requires serious volume. Full truckloads can run approximately 40,000–45,000 lbs, putting direct access out of reach for many growing resellers and used clothing businesses.
Our Credential Pool gives qualified wholesale buyers access to raw credential clothing starting at just 5,000 lbs — without having to purchase an entire truckload yourself.
Join a Credential PoolWhat Is Credential Clothing?
Credential clothing is used clothing in its raw, original collection stream before it has been sorted into specific categories, brands, styles or resale niches.
Instead of purchasing a pre-sorted bale of denim, T-shirts, Y2K, vintage or another category, credential buyers purchase bulk mixed clothing and handle the sorting and grading themselves.
This gives experienced resellers, rag houses and used clothing businesses the opportunity to process inventory from the beginning and determine what fits their own resale operation.
A Smarter Way to Access Credential Clothing
Buying credential directly can mean committing to an entire truckload. The OC Rag House Credential Pool gives growing resellers and wholesale buyers another way in.
Same opportunity. More manageable volume.
You shouldn't have to be ready for 45,000 pounds of clothing just to take the next step in your wholesale business. By pooling qualified buyers together, OC Rag House creates another path to accessing raw credential clothing.
How It Works
Multiple qualified wholesale buyers combine their purchasing power toward a larger credential load. Each buyer purchases the volume that makes sense for their operation.

Built for Businesses That Are Ready to Grow.
Credential can be an important next step for businesses that have outgrown small lots and sorted bales but aren't ready to take on an entire semi-truck of inventory.
Lower Entry Volume
Start with 5,000 lbs rather than committing to an entire 40,000–45,000 lb truckload.
Less Capital Tied Up
Purchase an allocation that fits your current operation rather than financing an entire truckload yourself.
More Manageable Storage
Receive a volume your warehouse, team and sorting operation can realistically process.
Room to Scale
Start at 5,000 lbs, move into larger allocations and increase purchasing volume as your business grows.
Serious Used Clothing Buyers.
Our Credential Pool is intended for businesses with the space, transportation, labor and experience required to process bulk used clothing.
Credential Is Not the Same as Sorted Wholesale.
If you're looking specifically for vintage T-shirts, Y2K, Levi's, premium denim, vintage surf, branded clothing or another defined category, credential may not be the right product for your needs.
Credential is purchased as a raw mixed clothing stream. Specific brands, categories, eras, sizes, resale values and grades are not guaranteed.
Buyers looking for specific inventory should ask OC Rag House about our sorted wholesale clothing, category bales and smaller wholesale lots.
