Which is what?
It has been brought to my attention that not everyone (hardly anyone) across the globe refers to jumpers as jumpers. Some people call jumpers sweaters; sometimes WE call jumpers sweaters! There seems to be no formula dictating when an Englishman refers to a wool overgarment as a sweater or a jumper (or pullover?) , nevertheless, we do use several terms to describe what is essentially, the same item. Our American compatriots, however, are a lot more consistent in their addressing of such garments; a sweater is a sweater is a sweater (to coin a phrase, undoubtedly, never to be used again) Not wanting to marginalise our American cousins, I would like to point out that Woolovers USA is fully functional and open for business! We shall be gradually tailoring the site for our friends across the Atlantic (dropping all the ‘U’s from colour etc. – which will no doubt lessen our carbon footprint no end) but you can already find all of our products in your native currency as well as localised postal information (delivery times and prices – not when your local postman is threatening strike action).
So for a veritable fiesta of all things sweater, cardigan, wool vest and such, please pay a visit to WoolOvers USA , where you will find all manner of British wool, cashmere, merino, lambswool and silk & cotton wares to keep you feeling warm and looking SUPER AWESOME, as no Americans would probably say…
