Sweater Vest Tucked In or Not?

[Panache]

Actually there is one outfit that requires that the sweater vest be worn tucked in to the pants (to show off the braces)

That made my morning thanks for reminding me of that Jamie.

now, you do tuck sweaters into kilts, isn't that what you did in http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...12&postcount=4 ? I know that's not a sweater vest, as the original poster said, but some are just saying sweater to begin with...

I am at something of a loss here because I am wondering exactly what is a "sweater vest"? This is a name I have not previously come across, but I suspect it is an American term for something we might have another word to describe.

A sweater I understand - something along the lines of the Aran sweaters I adore at this time of year. On the other hand, a vest is, I understand, the American name for a waistcoat. Personally I cannot believe either of these garments would be worn tucked-in - so, are we talking of something else altogether?

Maybe I am just being extra dense to-night - if so, please excuse me.

Take care,
Ham.

It's a vest made out of sweater material with buttons down the middle. I looked at Wikipedia, and it says you might refer to it as a tank top, but thats not like what Americans think of by that term. Wiki doesn't refer to the buttons, but just says it's sleeveless.

This is a Sweater Vest


I guess you would call it a sleeveless jumper.

this illustraion by mcmurdo would be the style in question.

[Hamish]

Ah! Thanks Glen. That is what we would call a pullover or less often, a slip.

Oh, no. I could never wear one of those tucked-in!

Take care,
