Kiwis we love in sweater vests

this thread reminds me of this interview

"
What was the first performance that you two did as Flight of the Conchords?
Brett: We did a few strange gigs before we performed as Flight of the Conchords. One of the first versions was not a duo but a four piece called Vested Interests. We wore vests and played catchy tunes.

Jemaine: A vest in New Zealand is a sweater vest in your language. If it were Sweater Vested Interests it wouldn't fly."


...so what do they call regular vests? ???

-- longing for photos of Vested Interests.

This thread NEEEEEDS.

Another SXSW vest from drunkagain:

^ THAT picture is awesome! " title="" border="0"/> and i particularly like that sweater vest

Another of "
that sweater vest"
(also from drunkagain):



Another of Taika's apparent favorite:



And doesn't this look like the one above, but newer/bolder and with black trim? " title="" border="0"/>


p.s. I had only seen the Bret part of this pic before! " title="" border="0"/>

All these pics are great, but now I'm dying to see a pic of Bret in a sweater vest - you know it's out there somewhere, damn it!

ME TOO!! This collection/we NEED.

And again, I'm dying for photos of Vested Interests. He's gotta be wearing a vest in those. Maybe they didn't have cameras in NZ yet. " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/>

Oh damn. . . bright orange shirt, goofy sweater vest, fuzzy purple scarf, messy hair. . . I am now convinced that Jemaine must be my soulmate. " title="" border="0"/>
Plus, look where the magical apple is once again!

Finally the Jemaine half of the photo! :-*

That is a strange outfit. But he still looks adorable. Although I am sort of curious why he's wearing a scarf indoors but not a jacket.

Alright, we've seen this one before, but no sweater vest is safe from this thread! :;

Thanks for this, Nik! :-*

I find that culturally insensitive.

I'll have you know we actually invented cameras. It was very exciting, being able to go out and photograph all your favourite sheep all of a sudden. Amazing year, 1992.

hehe, thanks, Laura! I posted that one a few weeks ago in the ogre thread, and thought I posted it here, but evidently not!

WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THIS UNTIL NOW???

Thank you for finally wearing a sweater vest, Bret! (even if it wasn't your decision)



p.s. Nik, feel free to add some more caps to this! I just couldn't resist putting one in here!

Finally! And a new sweater vest on Jemaine - a rather spiffy one, too.
