No - but I do like my friend Chris's rather a lot. Another friend has a stripey Denace the Menace style jumper but he wears it like a goth so--.

I have a red one, which is very rawr and a grey mohair one that is beautiful. Oooh and I have the loveliest red stripy tank top - the stripes are rainbow coloured.

I am very pro-stripes. I have a stripy scarf too and even at work, I wear pin-stripes.

I have one, which I bought in Brittany. I like it, but it is getting a bit out of shape.

If you mean sweater, I have one that is beige and has flourescent pink, green and orange sttripes on it.

You do realize that in America jumper means the light blue thing below:

So when we tell someone we saw a pinefox in a purple jumper it's kind of tempting to giggle.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

yes - pink and black

― minna (minna), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

But it is funny when the Pinefox where's a purple "jumper" for us.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Some things are universal.

striped jumper

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a grey and black mohair-style one. Used to have a red and black hand-knitted affair but it made me look like a grungey pirate.

I demand to see the pinefox in a purple jumper, US style, ASAP.

Felicity, that is clearly not a jumper. You are mad.

― Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a jumper!

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

No, it's not.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Possibly it's related to jump SUIT?

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It's related to jumping of course!

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you'll find that it's a PINAFORE DRESS.

The only stripey jumpers I have are rugby tops. Stolen from rugby players. Mmmmm

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I deeply regret not buying an olive green curdoroy mini jumper at the cK boutique at the Sogo mall in Chiba circa '98. Curdoroy jumpers are g-great.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I love stripes, but the make me look like a mental patient (more so than usual). So no.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Lara, I'm not mad at all. I have no reason to be angry with you.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ha ha

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 13:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I do. Many of you have seen it, I think. It's various shades of green, with a polo neck, it's quite figure hugging (and I have a waist so I sort of quite like that). I bought it in a second-hand store in Denver, and the fact that I really liked it before I tried it on more than made up for the fact it was originally from Gap.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha. Mark, your standards are so impossibly high!!

― Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Stripey to thread!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

sometimes i think i own nothing but stripey jumpers

― ron (ron), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

what do you people think a jumper is?

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Warm and wooly usually.

I have no stripey jumpers.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I am touched to find myself already mentioned on this thread.

Possibly I would suit a striped, or hooped, jumper. I'm not sure.

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a couple of stripey jumpers... I love them. My mum is making me another at the moment, and if I get some black wool she might get around to making me the Dennis the Menace one which I've been asking her to make me for about 10 years now.

― celeste (Celeste), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite being strangely pegged as Dennis The Menace (UK) on the ILE As Cartoon Characters thread, no. I haven't worn a jumper of any kind in many years.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i just made you dennis the menace uk because you'd alluded to him in a recent thread, nothing sinister

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't objecting or thinking it sinister, Fritz. I was happy to get a nomination at all there, and so early! I just mentioned it because of the jumper.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 25 February 2003 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

How did I miss this thread? Stiped jumpers *AND* Time Team. I love randomiser. Why yes, of course I do. It is purple and green.

― kate, Wednesday, 2 April 2003 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to own one or two. They're long gone. Oddly enough, I was considering a new one with purple involved. I don't know why.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I can only dream of owning a stripey jumper!

― Skottie, Thursday, 3 April 2003 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I own this.

When I laf it makes me look like a chechire cat.

― Erik, Thursday, 3 April 2003 05:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a stripey jumper but I don't wear it very often.

http://www.imgmag.org/images/gillanders/tugendhat.jpg

I prefer stripey trousers.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 3 April 2003 05:52 (twenty-two years ago)

so a jumper is a kind of long sleeved shirt? I'm so confused!

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Thursday, 3 April 2003 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Closest US equiv jumper = sweater.

― kate, Thursday, 3 April 2003 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't wear stripes, I'd love a stripey jumper, I've bought a few but never worn them - it's the breasticles you see, my body shape is just not suited to stripes, woe is me....

― smee (smee), Thursday, 3 April 2003 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Not even vertical stripes? I know, let's get Rich to cut up those rather fab trousers and make a jumper for you out of them.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 3 April 2003 06:37 (twenty-two years ago)

yes i do.

― minna (minna), Thursday, 3 April 2003 06:59 (twenty-two years ago)

four years pass...

relevance! (not)

― Mark G, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:01 (eighteen years ago)

i have many.

but rly, to bring this into 2007:
how many of us have Stripey Trayce Top?

― g-kit, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

or maybe that should be 1987

― g-kit, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

I own a Stripey Trayce Top TM, I was wearing it last week. Proper one, like, in black and white. I have a brown and different brown one too, which is probably a bit indie of me, and a various shades of blue one as well but the last two are definitely t-shirts and probably don't count. I think that's it for stripey tops for me, which is a shame. I used to have a grey and black stripey woolly jumper which was my favourite thing ever. I bought it when I was about 12 and last remember seeing it when I was about 26. I miss it :-(
