pjwaz Posted October 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I have seen references to jumpers in various places; one tour suggests to bring one. I wore a jumper in Catholic school in Chicago, but don't think it's the same thing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGal999 Posted October 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2018 In the UK ... a Jumper is a pullover sweater or sweatshirt. From what I could see on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwidget Posted October 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Am intrigued... what did it refer to at catholic school in Chicago? But yes - an old fashioned term for a sweater or (nowadays) a hoodie Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trig42 Posted October 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Jumper = Jersey, Sweatshirt, Hoodie, Cardigan. Anything to keep you warmer than a shirt would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell21 Posted October 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The original "Jumper" was a knitted woolen one piece "Pullover" like a hand knitted sweatshirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted October 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A jumper is, I was told as a kid, something you put on when your mum is cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted October 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A jumper is, I was told as a kid, something you put on when your mum is cold. Hahaha I love it! A jumper is basically a pullover sweater, with or without a hood. We generally refer to the ones that open in the front as a cardigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums But that is what a Catholic school jumper is. I wore one for years. Just put thick tights on and sweater and winter coat over our blouse & wool winter jumper.

GUT2407 Posted October 1, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 1, 2018 A woolly jumper. I was thinking more “what do you get if you cross a kangaroo with a sheep?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted October 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Jumper = Pullover. I prefer ye olde 'Cardie' (Cardigan) or knitted sleeveless vest for golf.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinbadThePorter Posted October 2, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I was thinking more “what do you get if you cross a kangaroo with a sheep?” Yes, but it's hard to get a picture of one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinbadThePorter Posted October 2, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 2, 2018 In my neck of the woods, that was called a school tunic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjwaz Posted October 2, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes, this is a jumper in the U.S. Sometimes it's in a solid color and a blouse is worn underneath. Girls wear it in private or parochial schools usually until 8th grade, about age 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted October 2, 2018 #18 Share Posted October 2, 2018 When I went to America to do my graduate studies I quickly learnt that (most) men did not wear jumpers. Henceforth, we wore sweaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted October 3, 2018 #22 Share Posted October 3, 2018 In NZ its called a Gym Frock . We called it a Gymslip back in 60's in Wellington schools. Horrible things, especially the winter weight ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
