Lidl is adding a new jumper to its clothing range that closely resembles a premium piece sold at John Lewis for more than 17 times the price. The ESMARA Men's Grey Half Zip Jumper will be available in over 1,000 Lidl stores from Sunday, October 18, while stocks last.
The jumper is made from a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend, features a zip fastening and a claimed "relaxed fit", with sizes ranging from medium to 2XL. Its simple knitted-style design makes it a practical choice for the colder autumn and winter months ahead.
Versatile Half-Zip Design
The half-zip style is a versatile wardrobe staple, allowing wearers to adjust the zip for extra ventilation when warm or fasten it up to help retain heat when temperatures drop, whether worn over a T-shirt or beneath a coat.
The jumper is only available to buy in-store, meaning shoppers hoping for home delivery may be disappointed. To avoid a wasted trip on launch day or beyond, shoppers can check their nearest Lidl branches using the retailer's online store finder by entering their postcode.
Comparison with John Lewis Piece
It could be considered a budget alternative to a piece on sale at John Lewis right now. The Rodd & Gunn Quarter Zip Neck Jumper usually retails for £175 but has been reduced to £99. Only the Asphalt version is discounted, while the Black Fig, Midnight, Surf, Jungle and Flax designs remain at RRP.
It's quite difficult to tell it apart, at a glance, from Lidl's offering. But there's a major difference that has nothing to do with price.
Delivery Options at John Lewis
Shoppers interested in buying the jumper at John Lewis can have it delivered straight to their door or arrange Click & Collect.
