Where I come from, they were sometimes referred to as 'wife beaters'....not sure why. I think a lot of the guys in prison wore these at one time, they might still do. prison guys=wife beaters?

Well that sent me down a rabbit hole. The term originated in 1947 after a news photo labeled a man shown in his undershirt at the “Wife Beater” after he had beaten her to death. Over time it was derogatory when not worn as an undershirt as it seemed to be a favourite garment of those types of men. The term has mellowed, which maybe isn’t a good thing.

lol...as you can see from the one on the right it's called a Gilet, and that's what I have in pink, but with pictures of dogs in the lining.... ..... :D(y)
This is the one I have , and the company I bought it from... it shows a picture of foxes in the lining, but the one that was sent to me has dachshunds...

I have many vests (Gilets) ranging from down to very thin. They’re just that extra layer of warmth I seem to need. Those with deep pockets in the interior are the best for carrying phone, cards, etc.

Because I love dachshunds, I‘d be ecstatic.

does that site ship to Canada ? ...these gilets from forest are beautiful, really nice and thick, to be worn as an outer layer rather than under something (y)

Shipping & fees are outrageous from the UK. I’ll get by with the dozen vests in my closet. Guess these should have been listed in the items that I have excessive numbers of.

Shipping fees are outrageous to the UK too... I tried to buy a face mask at the start of the pandemic from a US seller.. cost $6... and I wanted 3... he was very willing to send them but apologised profusely telling me they were going to cost $30 to ship... :eek: needless to say , I passed on those..

What's with all the dogs?
You need some clothes with penguins on them. Otherwise one might slap you when you least expect it.

Just a warning between friends.

I bought a slow feed bowl for Bella and purchased her spot for board and train in April. I should get the next stimulus check in March which will go for her vet bill and board and train. Doing my part for the American economy as usual. I am such a patriot!! Bella born in the USA. 😍. Go Bella, Go Bella.

Seriously, go, its cold out here. Snowed all day.
 
This evening on the way home from DD's house, we stopped off to pick up some groceries, and while we were at the superstore, bought some jeans for both of us, a thick navy blue cable jumper for me, and a black and white polka dot sleeveless top with a dipped hem also for me.. in the sale... the whole lot came to just £55
