Questions people ask
Is the Jaeger jumper at M&S real cashmere?
Yes. M&S lists the Jaeger Pure Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper as 100% cashmere, at £185 (checked 28 September 2026).
What is the £22 M&S jumper made of?
57% acrylic, 32% polyester, 8% wool and 3% elastane, according to the M&S product page.
What's the difference between the two jumpers?
Mainly the fabric and the price. Both are relaxed crew necks in a similar beige; the Jaeger is pure cashmere and costs £163 more.
Is there a cheaper alternative to the Jaeger cashmere jumper?
Yes. The M&S Crew Neck Relaxed Jumper with Wool in Medium Beige has the same relaxed crew-neck shape in a similar colour for £22. It is an acrylic mix with 8% wool rather than cashmere, so it won't feel or last the same.
Which should I buy my sister?
If she'll wear it every day for years, the cashmere. If it's going to live in her suitcase or get borrowed, the £22 M&S jumper.
