string vests? dont they trap warm air inbetween their holes and layers and therefore provide a sheet of insulation? something like that...
one of the worse things, saw some in a market other day thought they had stopped making them.
i thought they were specifically marketed for the cooks in transport cafes.
They keep the air around the body warm as Candybar says and also allow the body to release sweat, so you don't end up in a wet, sweaty vest.
During WW2 my father was in a prison of war camp in Canada where the temperature was constantly freezing, and he and his friends used to knit vests out of string to keep themselves warm - it was a way of trapping warm air close to the body and seemed to work quie
