So that's why they seem to wear an undershirt, a shirt, a sweater, a
vest and a jacket at the same time?

Pardon my ignorance of leftpondian naming conventions,
but I am fron Scotland .

Is an undershirt and a vest not the same thing ?
Or by vest do you (TINY) mean a waistcoat ?

Possibly, more likely a sweater. In the parts of England I used to
inhabit, a vest was an undershirt, but there are always regional
variations (sometimes over the incredibly huge distance of a mile!).

To make matters more confusing, I grew up understanding that a
sweater was, more correctly, a pullover, and pants were underwear.
My Canadian wife looked at me kind of funny the first time I mentioned
wearing a pullover, and I finally understand why Superman (being in
North America) wears his pants on the outside....
