Understanding Kakobuy Spreadsheet Basics

The Kakobuy Spreadsheet is a crowdsourced tool aggregating sellers, prices, and QC reviews from Taobao via Kakobuy reps. It's gold for formal wear: suits, blazers, shirts, trousers, dresses in business pro styles. Sort by price, ratings, batch quality for deals under $50.

Step 1: Access and Navigate

• Download latest sheet from Kakobuy Discord or Reddit (r/Repsneakers, r/FashionReps).
• Enable filters: Ctrl+F for 'formal', 'suit', 'blazer', 'business'.
• Sheets tabs: 'Clothing', 'Outerwear' for vests, coats.

Step 2: Keyword Search for Formal & Business Pro

• Suits/Tuxedos: '男士西装' (men's suit), 'female suit set', brands: Zegna, Ralph Lauren dupes. Filter $30-60.
• Blazers: 'oversized blazer', 'tailored blazer', YSL/Chanel styles. Best under $40.
• Shirts/Dresses: 'oxford shirt', 'pencil skirt suit', 'shift dress formal'. Aim <$25.
• Accessories: 'tie set', 'leather belt formal', 'oxfords men' for complete looks.

Cross-check Weidian links in sheet for stock.

Step 3: Spotting Top Deals

• Price/Sales: Sort low-to-high, ignore <$10 (flimsy). Look for 4.8+ star sellers with 100+ sales.
• Batch Quality: Filter 'A3/A4 batch' for clean stitching, wool blends mimicking $500+ originals.
• Seasonal Discounts: Post-holiday (Jan/Feb post-NYE) drops 20-30% on formal.
• Example Deal: Loro Piana suit dupe $38 (retail $1500), seller 'topcloth2288'.

Step 4: QC and Ordering Checklist

• Request QC photos: Focus on lapels, buttons, lining. Reject loose threads, color bleeds.
• Use Kakobuy NPS service: $5 fee, consolidates global shipping to $20-30.
• Communicate: 'Please QC shoulders/pants taper'. Use WeChat via rep.
• Return policy: 99% reps handle flaws.
