Is a jumper the same as a sweater (sweatshirt), or is there a difference?

I am of the belief that sweater is the American term for a jumper, but someone is disputing.

Many thanks,

I'd never use sweatshirt out loud, but jumpers are knitted.

You are correct-ish. A jumper and a sweater (crocheted or knitted) are the same thing but a sweater and a sweatshirt (made of heavy material) are different.

A jumper and a sweater are the same but a sweatshirt is like a thick tee shirt.

My friend over at chatGPT tells me:

The terms "jumper" and "sweater" can vary depending on the region and the culture. In some places, the terms are used interchangeably, while in other places, they refer to slightly different garments.

In the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth countries, the term "jumper" is often used to refer to a knitted garment with long sleeves, worn over the upper body. This garment is equivalent to what is known as a "sweater" in the United States and other countries.

In the United States, "sweater" is the more commonly used term for this garment, and "jumper" typically refers to a sleeveless dress worn over a blouse or shirt.

It's worth noting that "sweatshirt" is a different garment from both "jumper" and "sweater." A sweatshirt is a pullover garment made of thick cotton or cotton blend fabric with a fleecy interior. It is often worn for casual or athletic activities.

In summary, "jumper" and "sweater" can be used interchangeably in some regions, but in others, they may refer to slightly different garments. A "sweatshirt" is a different type of garment altogether

Not sure that "sweaters for goalposts" or "sweatshirts for goalposts" has quite the same ring to it. Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous!

I would have said no but googling suggests my reasoning would not stand up to scientific scrutiny.

I still refuse to back down though. So no.

I still wear pullovers.

When I told my mum I was going to Iceland she said you'll need to take a heavy sweater with you. So I brought Buster Bloodvessel.

A sweater is the person still sitting in the doorway fiddling with their helmet.
A jumper is the one who just left the aircraft.

I thought pullovers were sleeveless V neck jumpers with stripes down the V, as worn in the 1950s & 60s by boys in boarding schools; and in the 1980s when described as 'tanktops' by middle-aged wannabe nerds with beer bellies? 🤔

(edit: sorry Jontysnut, no offence intended - I'm assuming you wear what others describe as 'jumpers', not what I describe as 'tanktops'!)

A jumper is a sweater. But a sweater is not a sweatshirt.
