New anorak that German wears over jumper (8)

I believe the answer is:

kangaroo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jumper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new anorak that german wears' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'that german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'wears' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'anorak'+'g'='anorakg'
'anorakg' is an anagram of 'kangaro'.
'kangaro'+'o'='KANGAROO'

'over' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
