This just goes on to show how badly you are familiar with fashion.

Fleece vests come from the 90s trading floors. The traders would use shirts, then management started to reduce the temperature on the floors to make the traders more efficient. Vest was a great way not to get cold or too hot on the floor. Thus fleece vests are now associated with finance people.

Funny enough I found an article on vests just this morning on digg -- do you ever experience these weird synchronicities?
