When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

striukė / švarkas

It can be either striukė or švarkas. Depends on actual piece of clothing.

If you want to translate category of clothing, I can see it is often used "striukės ir švarkai" for jackets, because it is difficult to find one word fitting all. But if you must choose, maybe "švarkas" could be more universal.
Note from asker:
What is the most neutral translation, suitable for all kinds of jackets?
Peer comment(s):

neutral Rita Vaicekonyte : "Striukės ir švarkai" is a good choice for a clothing category. However, "švarkas" means a formal (suit) jacket only and excludes all outerwear jackets (leather/windbreaker/parka/etc.). In LT, there really is no single word that encompasses all jackets.

Švarkelis/(kostiumo) švarkas/striukė/liemenė

Highly depends on the context, but all of the above are possible options.
