Clothing names

My youngest daughter once asked me irritably why I sometimes call trousers breeks (breeches/britches). Apparently I was the only person she ever heard calling them that.

I told her she should, in that case, be grateful to me for increasing her vocabulary and to look the word up. Note: this was a child who used to fall asleep while reading her Children's Oxford Dictionary.

A jumper can be made of anything these days ( yes, in days of yore it was made of wool....a sheep, a woolly jumper.)
I may be guilty of saying arms instead of sleeves now and then ( so shoot me!)?
I also call clothes togs.

As long as you don’t wear your pants over your jeans Missfoodlove tha’ll be alreet!

When I moved to Lancashire from Yorkshire I was baffled by pants!
In Lancashire these are trousers or jeans in Yorkshire pants are underwear.

I agree with you on the sleeves/arms issue grannyrebel7, but to me a jumper is a knitted top, it doesn’t have to be wool, it can be cotton, or even acrylic if you can bear it.
