Vintage suicide vest...

Looks like I have seen him on mountain men ;-)

My sister adopted him as an honorary ancestor because of family resemblance a couple of years ago. Where did the picture originate?

I'm not sure of the photo's origin, but the lifesaver ring behind him is marked Whitby, which, according to wikipedia: Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has a maritime, mineral and tourist heritage.

If I saw someone wearing this today I wouldn't think "life vest".
