Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Jigsaw
- Wool, cashmere and silk pieces, where the fibre is the whole argument and is printed on the label
- The coat and knitwear lines, which are the categories the brand is known for and which hold their shape
- Understated neutral pieces with no visible branding, which is precisely the customer this label sells to
- Older pieces from the label’s earlier production, which buyers who know the brand seek out for the make
What pulls Jigsaw resale value down
- Moth holes in wool and cashmere, which is the fault that most often ends a knitwear listing
- Bobbling on fine-gauge knits, which is very visible on the muted colours the brand uses
- Faded blacks and washed-out navies, which on a logo-free garment removes what little visual identity it has
- Shrunken pieces from machine washing wool, which is permanent and changes the fit beyond the label
Identifying and dating yours
- Photograph the composition label first — with no logo on the garment, the fibre is the entire case for the price
- Say the garment type plainly in the title, because the brand name alone is ambiguous in search results
- Backlight knitwear against a window so any thinning or moth damage is shown rather than described
What lifts any wool jumper, whatever the label
Wool knitwear is judged on how it has been washed, since one hot wash permanently ends a jumper’s life.
- Merino, lambswool and heavier gauge knits
- No felting or shrinkage
- De-pilled surface with even texture
- Recognised knitwear brands
And what pulls one down
- Felting from a hot wash, which cannot be undone
- Moth holes, common in stored wool
- Stretched cuffs and hems
- Heavy pilling under the arms
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold it to the light to reveal moth damage
- Check the cuffs recover after stretching
- De-pill it before photographing
What to state in the listing
- Exact fibre and percentage, and the knit weight
- Pit-to-pit and body length laid flat
- Number and size of any moth holes
- Neckline style and whether the ribbing has stretched
Fibre, style and size: “100% Lambswool Crew Neck Jumper, Forest Green, Size M”. Name the specific wool — merino, lambswool and shetland are searched separately and priced differently. Say if it is a recognised knitwear brand.
Preparing and photographing it
- Hold it to the light and check for moth holes, which are small, round and easy to miss indoors.
- De-pill the surface, particularly under the arms and at the cuffs.
- Read the composition and note whether it is lambswool, merino, shetland or a blend.
- Laid flat, front, on a contrasting surface
- The composition label
- The knit surface after de-pilling
- Any hole or thin patch, against a light background so the size is clear
When it sells best, and handing it over
October through February with a Christmas peak. Natural fibre jumpers hold value all winter; synthetics do not.
Light and compact. Fold with tissue and use a waterproof bag, since wool absorbs any damp in transit.
What buyers ask
Why does branding matter so little on this label?
Because the customer buys it for cut and fabric rather than a logo. That means the composition label and honest measurements do the selling work a logo would elsewhere.
Will my listing get lost among puzzles and tools?
It can. Put the garment type in the title — coat, cardigan, dress — so the listing lands in clothing searches rather than general ones.
How much is a Jigsaw wool jumper worth?
Roughly £12 to £55 depending on condition, against £12 to £55 for wool jumpers generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
