	Guernsey (clothing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A guernsey (pronounced jearsy)is a seaman's knitted woollen sweater, similar to a jersey, differing in that it is thicker and more likely to be hand knitted, or in having such an appearance in contrast to the latter's finer knit.
		The traditional Guernsey, and traditional Jersey, are dyed a navy blue colour, using a dye that does not require stripping the wool of its natural oil, rendering these sweaters surprisingly water resistant.
		The Guernsey was first widely used in the rating uniform of the nineteenth century British Royal Navy, and as with the Jersey was named after the Channel Island of the same name.
