You probably get better quality in M&S for half the price. Given it’s hardly a fashion statement why would you pay 100 quid for it.
M&S do have one for half the sale price of the John Smedley cardigans, but they have a 50 percent man made fibre content which puts me off. Lambswool Blend V-Neck Cardigan | M&S | M&S

They do have a 70 percent wool, 30 percent csshmere one, but it's £35 more than the 100 percent natural fibres John Smedley ones. Cashmere Wool Blend Heavy Knit Cardigan | Autograph | M&S
