Talk:Sweater vest

Why is US terminology preferred over UK terminology

This article is rather strange in the fact that the item is clearly associated with the UK/Britain yet the US term has been took over preference and deemed more important.

That would be like renaming the Football wiki page to "Soccer". --Marcramarc (talk) 12:33, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

importance of tank top in 70s british fashion

at the moment the article on tank top concentrates on those that wear them now or the comedic value of the item - whats missing is a feeling for the fashion item that it was in the early to mid 70s in the uk - can't think yet how to show this - maybe someone else can - meanwhile i'll think on it 82.7.17.250 14:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

In the UK in the 1970s the term "tank top" was reserved for sweaters with round necks and straps - the same as the American version - and sleeveless jumpers with a V neck were known as "Sleeveless V's". Only in more recent decades has the term "Tank top" been used in the UK for all sleeveless jumpers.

Rap superstar?

Is Akbar Zaki really an afghan rap superstar? I confess to a lack of familiarity with the Afghan rap scene, and Google seems to display similar ignorance. Either way, I suspect that he is not truly responsible for the resurgence in popularity. --Shahid1618 (talk) 19:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. This article has many problems, but this looks to be a joke, give that the google search "Akbar Zaki rapper" generates no credible hits except this article and clones. I'm taking it out and if it goes back in, it needs a credible citation. Also was added by an Anon user with an interesting edit historyTjoeC (talk) 18:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

tanktop not an undergarment in the UK

The article says that a tank top is an undergarment. In the UK this is not correct, it is a knitted sweater like garment often worn over a lighter layer like a shirt. I have deleted the text that suggests it is an undergarment. Perhaps it is in some other countries? --87.194.211.85 (talk) 12:45, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Modern golfers wear plus-fours & brogues with sweater vests?

Really? I would suggest that while sweater vests can be found on the golf course, they are more likely to be teamed with chinos/trousers, a polo shirt and golf shoes...? Lxxxi (talk) 10:21, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Considered "nerd-wear" in UK

If wanting fair, accurate political coverage means I’m a nerd, knit me a tank top - Stewart Lee 86.26.33.25 (talk) 21:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
