Secondhand wool sweaters
I'm looking to get a couple used wool sweaters (possibly a cardigan too) in the ~$40-50 price range on ebay/poshmark/wherever. I currently just own a few acrylic Uniqlo sweaters, so I'm hoping to up my game this season and get something chunkier, warmer, and with a better drape. I read the sweater/knitwear guides but am still pretty overwhelmed in my search, so could use a hand if anyone has recommendations.
I'm sifting through the deluge of options that come up on ebay for "shetland sweater" and it's a lot. In my price range I see some J Crew, some more recent Pendleton, 80s/90s department store brands like Club Room, and then lots of lesser known vintage brands. (Just went down a rabbit hole looking at a brand called "Aran Crafts" that was in my price range, but looks to be sold on QVC which is sketchy). Found a beautiful heavyweight vintage Pendleton a little out of my price range ($80) that I'm kind of drooling over, but I just have no grasp on value/pricing yet.
At this price range I don't really know how to evaluate since I'm not looking at the big names that come up for shetland recommendations. Could just go based on looks but figured I'd check here since it's such new territory for me.
