Do You Wear a Vest

    Everybody used to wear a vest in days gone by, kids, old folks and everybody in between.

    Does anyone still wear a vest other than at the extremes of the age spectrum.

    Not in the past 30 year.

    Sometimes :(
    Under a shirt or jumper.

    I used to think it was an old man thing. I realise now it probably is.

    Tshirt under a shirt sometimes if its nippy out.

    Does that count?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭pauliebdub


    Very seldom, unless it's bitterly cold. Quite a few of the lads at work wear them, either t shirts or normal vests under their shirts. I find them uncomfortable.

    I'm assuming as vests are still selling, someone other than myself is buying them.

    Ironically or non-ironically?

    That's the rub. When is a vest not a vest?

    I wear them under a jumper if I'm not wearing a shirt.

    Would those strappy tops that women wear in summer count, cause if so, yes. Wear them under t-shirts all the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    I wear a string top under jumpers and heavier tops, as they provide a more skin tight layer for comfort. I assume they count as a vest?

    Wear a white t shirt under my shirt all the time

    Use T-Shirts myself but am doing a feasibility study on the merits of the String Vest a-la Rab C Nesbit!:cool:

    I wear a тельня́шка when drinking cans in the summer with Vlad and the lads, but not sure if that counts since it's more of a sleeveless shirt style thing.

    For some reason one of my early childhood memories is hating when my mother made me wear one in winter

    Not much point ironing a vest, is there? I say non-ironical

    Same with me, I also wear a t-shirt under a t-shirt as well which is strange but I can't shake the habit.
