I think I've generally got a pretty good picture of the german market, so let's compare this: A knit zip neck sweater from new wool is generally available starting at about 100€. This is true across a variety of brands, from the big fashion brands to small ones, right down to companys that only exist to make use of the wool from shepherding projects for endangered sheep breeds. Many of them will ask higher prices for bigger sizes too. So I think this industry is generally pretty competitive.
By comparison, there are not many brands that make melton wool clothes ("Loden" in german... you might know it from the larp gear thread.) Let's compare three here:" roughstuff", popular among outdoor users, with modern cuts and bright colours, "jadghund", aimed at hunters and "loden friedl", a rather small one also aimed at hunters. All three of them use 100% new wool melton fabric (from the same company in two of the cases at least, which already shows how small the market is... but there's other companies in germany and austria that make melton wool.)
Now, roughstuff and jagdhund make a bit more sophisticated garments like the jacket here. They demand 260 € to 290 € for a jacket and 170€ for a west (both of them).
