Hi guys

I was in John Lewis the other day and I saw a merino wool long sleeve polo top for £49! Felt really nice to me and the fit was good, although a little baggy for a medium. I then went into Ralph Lauren and saw a similar one but it was for £129! My question is what is the difference in quality? Why does one cost more than the other? Any help will be appreciated. See links below please. Thank you.
