A perfect example of a GWP that prompted me to buy day 1.
Perfect sigfig for any male British Lego fan in their 60s.
That is a vest. Possibly even a puffer vest. You say "bodywarmer", and all I can think of is a stretchy knit tube that extends from the neck all the way down to the ankles.
I mustache you a question.
Weird that the figures from 40757 have the "gen" prefix, but the figures from 10350 have the "twn" prefix.
I just realized that this guy breaks a streak of helmeted figures that each came from a different lines.
I’d call this particular garment a gilet before I’d call it a bodywarmer, but bodywarmer is perfectly correct, just not the word I’d think of first.
(American English ‘vest’ always throws me for a second, since in British English it usually refers to a thin, usually sleeveless top worn next to the skin and pulled on over the head, and doesn’t cover waistcoats or gilets or basically anything I generally see Americans call vests, which seems to revolve around a general theme of ‘front fastening required’.)
Looks like his name should be Wilf and that he absolutely knows some guys
Both the set and the figures are lovely.

Not always. We also have what we call the sweater vest.

It is actually a gilet.

"Vest" revolves around the general themes of not having sleeves, and usually being worn over other garments (but sometimes also under yet more garments). Shirts can be pullovers like t-shirts, or button-up like dress shirts (don't know of any zip-up shirts). Vests can likewise be pullovers (the sweater vest worn by the other minifig from this set), button-up (3-piece suit), snaps (some puffer vests), or zip-up (also puffer vests).
This one, I can see a diagonal pattern on. It _might_ be a puffer vest, but the color and wide diamond pattern make me suspect it's actually just a quilted vest, possibly denim, maybe even the kind where you can zip sleeves onto the shoulders to turn it into a full jacket.
