[edit] Redirect?
It seems almost crazy to me to have "sweater" redirect to jumper. This is potentially a very rich topic in its own right, ranging from the hockey sweater to sweater girls. A very extensive article could certainly be written on the history of the former in particular. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:30 24 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Especially odd redirect as the definition of jumper is a sweater made of wool. Rmhermen 19:50 24 Jul 2003 (UTC)

- This is a US/UK difference, I believe.
- The point is that it is a circular redirect. Rmhermen 16:23 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I think the way that things have been worked now is very good. --Daniel C. :::::Where's my sweater article? Boyer 21:49, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Where is a short-sleeved sweater called a vest?
The article says 'If the sweater has no sleeves, it is generally called a vest.' Where? Here in England a vest is a type of sleeveless undershirt. In the US I got the impression a vest was a waistcoat. A sleeveless sweater, on the other hand, in England, is called a tanktop. Where does vest mean a sleeveless sweater?--Jcvamp 03:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC) I agree. In the Midwestern US, a vest is a sleeveless, non-knitted garment, worn under a jacket as part of a three piece suit. A tank-top is a (usually) woman's garment, sleeveless, often eleastic. I've never heard of a sweater called a "tank top", but tank tops may be made of machine-knit cotton. Not quite a sweater.Pustelnik 14:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
--- Got rid of the the sweater.gif, it is a silly image because the image changes too quickly and distracts from the article. The sweaters are also out of fashion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.143.208 (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
