Miriam,
Sounds like the string vests that we were issued with when I was in the
RAF and travelling to very cold places. They were very warm especially
when worn beneath a heavy, close-weave cotton shirt.

Hallo Bruce i don`t remeber you visiting this ng ??? but Hallo to
you !!!
I am bit puzzeled about your `string vest ` description , was it a
Knitted cloth ????
Any knitted [even loosely] garment under a close weave cloth will keep
the wramth ,,,,, You probably know that it`s not the Wool that keeps
you warm but the Holes /spaces inbetween the threads,,,
Could you remember approxemately if those `strings ` were thick ,
let`s say as a pencil , or as a Bike Wheel spike ???????????

I lurk in various newsgroups, Miriam. String vests are knitted from
string identical in appearance to that which is normally used to tie up
a parcel, they look a bit like the photograph here
www.osbornesbigman.co.uk/photo.php?pid=492. The RAF version used
cheaper string which always shrank when washed.
