I went through this too, the first time I read about SAS troopers wearing a jumper.

What I found is that it can mean several different articles of clothing besides a dress as in American English.

As for the number of books read, now that the year is officially over...

97 novels, God only knows how many magazines, and some very, very strange T-shirt and Jackets (One has to live in Japan to understand this.)
