The title of ‘jumper’ seemed to prevail generally for knitted garments in the 1930s and 1940s, and this jacket is one of the earliest to be featured in a needlework magazine. Based on original Tyrolean style, the caption in Needlewoman magazine of February 1937 proudly states:

This is a true Tyrolean jumper knitted in the traditional stitch and having the triple coloured yoke and embroidered spots of the native product.
