string vest
Net-like undergarment top
A string vest is an undershirt made of netted or mesh fabric, creating an open weave with visible holes.
Popular in Britain as a base layer, the design supposedly traps warm air against the body while allowing ventilation.
The garment has become associated with working-class masculinity and slightly dated fashion: He answered the door in a string vest and tracksuit bottoms.
