The vest "protects the wearer from that clammy, wet sensa­ tion caused by temperature vari­ ations. And, for the father with a middle-age, middle bulge prob­ lem, the vest helps give the waistline a trimmer, better groomed appearance. The sweater vest is a nine or ten month investment with lots of wardrobe potential. When added to a two-piece suit, a man has a vested look with textured dimension. Or how about as a substitute for the matching vest which came with the three-piece suit already in your dad's closet? The sweater vest gives a more informal effect to dressier cloth­ ing. Also, as a sportswear acces­ sory, the vest works compatibly into any casual look from jeans to pleated pants. For the traveler, vest versatil­ ity is a wardrobe expander and a n provide just the right of coverage for aircraft suitcase spacesaver. Whether sweater vests be made of wool or a synthetic fi­ ber, such as wool-like Orion or Acrilan acrylic, the vest is a welcome companion to the air traveler. It can amount ot coverage cabin wear, when a suit coat or sport coat is stowed away en route. The sweater vest is a more comfortable offspring of the vests of bygone eras which were usually made of heavy flannel or patterned wool. The knit con­ struction is the reason. The term "vest " derives from ecclesiastical vestments. It's a blood brother to the En­ glish waistcoat, so favored in the Edwardian period and later on. In contemporary styles, you will find detailing that has kept pace with the new trends in suits and sportswear, such as narro­ wer lapels, shawl collars, belted backs, new button treatments and cutaway fronts. Any way he wears it, for fashion and lasting quality, in­ vest in a vest for Dad's comfort this Father's Day.
