I was wondering what sort of underwear Expats in Thailand equip themselves with for the hot weather.

Army experiments sought best vest

Men who get hot under the collar about their summer attire can take to heart advice the government is getting off its chest after 30 years under wraps.

Results of tests on soldiers serving in the Suez Canal Zone reveal the best string vest to wear in warm weather.

Noting growing numbers of string-vest "adherents" during British summers, the government set out to fathom the "indefiniteness of its function".

The papers have been made public by the National Archives at Kew, west London.

With temperatures soaring to 98F (36C) in Egypt during the summer of 1955, members of the 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment were ordered to wear vests under their bush jackets to see if they had any "definite advantage" as a summer garment.

Three models were tested - a standard Army string vest, a less stringy civilian version, the Sherpa, and a conventional, non-string singlet.

My speedo does just fine

Havent worn anything for years - free and easy!
