@Phil It can mean sleeve. And the names given to clothing items aren't always literal. And the "2-in-1" description Anne provides fits with this new style trend - which fits too with the brand's target audience.

@philgoddard I'm pretty certain that my assumption is correct. The garment is entitled 'Pull manchettes 2 en 1' and is described as follows: 'Pull noir, manchettes, col montant, manches longues, finitions à volants, maille côtelée, débardeur, maille côtelée, bretelles.' In this case, I think this does mean sleeves, in other words, it's like a very cropped jumper, with just the neck and sleeves. The other part of it is a sort of vest top with thin straps. I'm just wondering whether anyone has come across the name for this sort of thing in English. If not, I'll get round the problem but calling it simply a '2-in-1 jumper' and describing it as follows: 'Black 2-in-1 ribbed jumper: cropped jumper with high neck, long sleeves and frilled edging; integrated ribbed strappy top.'

Manchette means cuff So presumably it's 'cuffed pullover', though I would have thought all pullovers have cuffs. You may not be correct in your assumptions about what it looks like.
