Ah a "sloppy joe" (blast from the past name) if it is worn under a
shirt it can be called a vest depends on how it is worn rather
than what it is.
cf "string" vests for older chaps, Ts for younger chaps
Remember once wearing a T under a shirt, the shirt
was one colour the T had a slogan on it, some people
spent an inordinate amount of time trying to read the slogan.
