I wasn’t aware that M&S had taken over the brand.
I thought they were just acting as “middlemen “ in the way that Next and Debenhams do.
M&S sell many different brands on their website.
Jaeger always stood out as a quality if higher priced company.

I used to buy Jaeger suits in the sale. They looked so smart for work.

Thanks for your comments, Grans!

Yes, I should have taken it back but stupidly I binned it in frustration!

Absolutely take it back- I hope you didn’t throw it

I think you do get the odd product even with high end brands, that fall below par. Take it back and get a full refund. At least you wore it one occasion when it looked good. smile

I agree Grannycool, buying from Jaeger, was guaranteed paying for quality which lasted years.

I wouldn’t hesitate to return the jumper, not fit for purpose.

I bought an absolutely fabulous blouse there. I was very pleased with it. It's almost too smart for me! It's pure silk black and white houndstooth check.

Yes, I agree with NotSpaghetti, take it back. If you bought it recently then you’ve probably got the receipt somewhere, but even if not you might be able to trace the purchase date through your bank card if you paid by card? It is obviously not fit for purpose, so you should get a refund.

Take it back Grannycool!
That's terrible!

I recently bought a Jaeger jumper at M & S, costing around £ 140.
In my working life, like many of my colleagues, I bought Jaeger suits from our local Jaeger shop and found them smart, stylish, made of natural fibres and very good quality.
I naturally assumed that, when M & S took over the brand, buying a Jaeger jumper there would be worth the investment.

How wrong I was! The first time I washed it, very carefully according to the instructions on the label, it turned out shapeless, coarsened and shedding fluff everywhere. It was dreadful and could not be worn again!

It worked out at £70 per wear, the worst value clothing item I have ever bought.

Having shopped in M & S all my life, I have observed the quality steadily dropping and will never buy clothes there again.

Anyone else had such experiences with the " heritage brands" taken over by M & S?
