Traditionally, a jersey is an item of knitted clothing, generally made of wool or cotton, with sleeves, worn as a pullover, as it does not open at the front, unlike a cardigan. It is usually close-fitting and machine knitted in contrast to a guernsey that is more often hand knit with a thicker yarn. The word is usually used interchangeably with sweater. [1]
Jersey, in the Channel Islands, was famous for its knitting trade in medieval times, and because of that original fame, the name " jersey" is still applied to many forms of knitted fabric, which transferred to the garments made from the fabric.
