What is difference between "jersey" and "cardigan"?

JerseyA jersey is an item of knitted clothing, traditionally in 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 and is the name always officially used in the United Kingdom to refer to the item when worn as part of the uniform of military, police or other uniformed personnel.



cardigan is a type of machine or hand knitted sweater (or jumper) that ties, buttons or zips down the front; by contrast, a pullover does not open in front but must be "pulled over" the head to be worn. Its versatility means it can be worn either in casual or formal settings and in any seasons, but popularly during the autumn and winter months.

These two items are most produce in Vietnam. Apparel agents in Vietnam export to Europe and America.
