Meaning of "BROWN WOOLLEN JUMPER"

[emogen]

Hi,

I tried to understand the meaning of sentence below:
"He was given an ugly BROWN WOOLLEN JUMPER"

Can you help me?
What the meaning of the words in UPPERCASE LETTER?


Thank you for your attention,

Which word was confusing you?
A sweater (US term) made of wool that was brown in color.

Hi Barb_D!

The sentence that you gave me as example helped me to understand what was wrong.
When I translated "jumper" by Google, the translation was something like "a person who jumps".
In fact, jumper im my sentence is something like "a coat".

Thanks for your help!

It's not a coat. It's more commonly called a "sweater". Here is a picture of a brown woollen jumper: http://fashionnewdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wool-sweater.jpg
