From: Naomi Segal Sent: 06 March 2019 15:21 To: german-studies Subject: FW: Spencerle? Thank you so much everybody who's answered, in just a few minutes, + for the links. Fascinatingly it seems to be everything from Bavarian to Viennese & only for men or only for women & knitted or sewn & sleeveless or a jacket. Hooray for words (& for german-studies)!

Dear All I am knitting my granddaughters some little tank-tops & it reminded me that my mother, born in Sudetenland in 1921, used to call this garment a 'spencerle' (or spenserle? Spencerle?). has anybody heard this term or do you know what it might derive from? There's nothing in google (at least Anglophone google).
