To trap pockets of warm air close to your skin to keep you warm.
as D97x7 ^^ apparently very effective at doing so as well. not that I have ever worn a string vest I hasten to add.

Arent vests only worn by very old people these days? just curious.
And conversely, in hot weather allows the skin to breath, keeping people cool and stops clothes sticking due to sweat.

(I would also never wear one)
i'd look odd wearing one, then again if someone were to ask, perhaps not.
I considered buying some last winter, couldn't find them locally though so didn't bother.
em10 I think we would be the best judge of that, pic please.
Ratter, nooo
D97x7 army & navy stores stock them

Doc, I used to wear flairs, shirts with huge collars as well but not Cuban heels, what are they?
wranglers that were so thick and stiff you could hardly bend your knees
Thanks DrFilth, if they keep you warm and can't be seen I can't see a problem with wearing them myself.

Jeans that you soaked in the bath to make them as tight as possible. Go nicely with the string vest, how times have changed
D97x7 as a kid i use to wear them and never had chest problems
string vests are a marvel, they are as warm as wearing a jumper, cellular blankets work in a similar way.

asthetically there was a craze a few years back where men with muscles used to wear a type of string vest to show off
just imagine you doc on the dance floor

String vests and great big underpants make excellent floorcloths. And the young 'uns think they invented recycling....
