What to check on the label
Check the fibre content on the label. Local listings show it as percentages, for example 89% cotton and 11% polyester, while knitwear makers list mohair and merino pieces, which cost more than cotton blends. Ask the seller to confirm the care label before you pay.
Sizes and measurements in cm
Local listings use letter sizes from XS to 2XL and numbers such as 10 or 18. Sizes differ between brands, so measure your chest and length in centimetres and compare them with the seller's measurements instead of trusting the label size. Say which fit you want, loose or fitted.
Season and delivery
November is late spring, and summer runs December to February. Demand for jumpers and cardigans peaks in winter, June to August, so buying in March to May gives you more choice before the rush. Sellers can deliver between Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha, so name your city, because delivery time and cost depend on it. Some listings offer free delivery above R750, so compare the total price, not only the item price.
What to write in your request
Name the type (jumper, cardigan or hoodie), the material, how warm you want it, your size in cm, the colour, any brand you prefer, new or second-hand, and your budget in rand. Ask about returns in writing, because return terms vary between sellers.
