I bought a wool jumper from Next about 7 years ago for probably around £30, and it's lasted me until now, and will probably last another 7 years.

I don't really take any special care, just put it in the washing machine every now and again.

Yeah Next are pretty good if you know what to look for, lots of their stuff isn't great but their 100% wool products are not bad at all. They use cheap dyes so their stuff isn't particularly colour fast, but if you take care of it, it will last a long time.

They use Merino wool, however not very much of their wool is sourced through the Responsible Wool Program(4% as of 2022), so there is a lot of wool in their cloths come from places you may not like how the sheep are treated. Their cotton is around 60% slave free(not bad for a fast fashion brand).
