This one will not cross the water without a storm.

Those are waistcoats. These are vests:







They're rarely worn wisely.

This pair cunningly chose their name and image to lure subeditors with the promise of easy west/vest puns.

Can't see the photo, Bruno.
I'm sure it's a belter though.

Nitro, huh?
I thought it was Tigertailz.

MY EYES!

That's actually a disingenuous waistcoat:


Probably a tax dodge of some sort.

[Pietro Paolo Virdis]

So, is this a kevlar vest or a Kevlar Waistcoat?

[Sean of the Shed]

Rock Stars who Vested Wisely

And is this a high vis vest or a high vis waistcoat?

[Lucia Lanigan]

Rock Stars who Vested Wisely

That's a bulletproof vest, which, like a safety/high visibility vest, is worn over your real clothes. Hope this helps.

[edit: posted simultaneously with s of the s, and answered his question too]

[Lucia Lanigan]

Or perhaps it is a high visibility waistcoat and I've been brainwashed by US propaganda. I just don't know anymore.

[Pietro Paolo Virdis]

Rock Stars who Vested Wisely

But it's not bulletproof

[Sean of the Shed]

Rock Stars who Vested Wisely

It's usually called a high vis vest, on both sides of the pond, which I'd have though is technically incorrect. I've always assumed that a waistcoat opens at the front, while a vest is just a single piece of material at the front.

[Calvert]

I take the 'cunts' thing back.
Clearly they're just having a laugh and this kind of thing is to be encouraged.

The 4-neck guitar is a brilliant idea, as that way there is one each for the band members when they are told to stick it up their arse.

That is horrible - how can you make such a mess of something so simple?

[Jah Womble]

I cannot find a picture - well, without venturing onto sites that frankly unnerve me - but 2Pac certainly had a bullet-proof vest. It was a regulation consignment that his label insisted he wear.

What the hell happened to it on that fateful night, God alone knows.

[Lucia Lanigan]

Rock Stars who Vested Wisely

Was that before or after someone popped a cap in his jazz apples? Cause really, some bulletproof boxers would have been more use.

Benjm - totally agree. That was the only picture of a tank top I spotted (amid a sea of vests) when I Googled it.

You're just not looking in the right places:

I was thinking more of 2Pac's 'last stand', but yeah, you're right. Apparently he was known in some quarters as '1Pac' after the earlier pop at his jewels.

You say that, but what's the official word in America? If you walked into, I dunno, Wal-mart or whatever and tried to buy one, I can't believe there would be a rack with a sign saying "wife beaters".
