Will I regret this expensive purchase?!

I LOVE this jigsaw cardigan. I have birthday money that would pay for half of it. It's so much for one cardigan though (for me anyway, appreciate others might have bigger clothes budgets).

I'm sure I would get lots of wear out of it. I could also probably get a cheap weekend away for less....

I love Jigsaw, I think it wears really well and spent that on one of their biker cardis a couple of winters ago, it's lovely and cosy and I haven't regretted the spend. Saying that if you can wait for the winter sale it might get reduced well, I did get a jumper in the sale recently reduced from £100 to £29. But the sales only happen twice a year Hmm

Its lovely but several bad experiences of spending a lot on knitwear has left me bitter.

If its a big outlay for you you'll regret it when it looks like a misshapen bobbly rag after a couple of washes.

Dry cleaning might help it hold its shape but it will still go bobbly and old looking really quickly.

It's a good investment piece? You'll get a lot of wear out of it as you could dress it up or down. Treat yourself!

I don't know the website. I literally just googled this item and this came up. I agree, it looks far too good to be true, hence my post. I wondered if anyone else knew about it. I haven't ordered anything from it.
Although for a few minutes was mighty tempted!

Sorry, but I absolutely would not order anything from the keyworthprimary website linked above. Please don't risk it.
The whole site looks very dodgy indeed. There are no real contact details that I can see, and all the information about shipping, privacy etc is really poorly written. Not to mention that if you wish to return an item they will deduct a 20% handling fee!

The grey is not all that but the navy is gorgeous. Only XS and S on website left. Thin you've started a stampede Mrsmaud

That is indeed lush and I am going to get one too. I love it. You will never have it off and neither will I Wink. Don't think of the upfront cost Mrsmaud think of the cost per wear. You have inspired me to look in Jigsaw again. Thanks.

That's lovely. Classic. Would have for years. I don't have a large budget but do splurge on good knitwear as I like to be warm and cheap knitwear is a crime! Xx

They did have it in navy in JL last week... so it might come back. They have it in store. I tried it on, twice. Loved it each time. Purchased!!

I only spent £400 on my wedding dress! But then I only wore that once.... Grin

Get it! I bought a wool poncho from Jigsaw a few years ago and it's still lovely, just bought 2 more (a short one in chunky cream knit and a longer, grey linen/wool mix). Love them!

I spent £70 on a Jigsaw cardi ten years ago - nearly nearly killed me at the time but I'm still wearing it now.
Having said that, I don't know if the quality is as good these days.

Wow! Such a positive response. Feck it, I'm buying it. It keeps selling out so I think if I wait it might go....

We are casual at work so I'd wear it for work quite a bit.
