Arabic term

فانلية

Arabic to English Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Hi everyone,

I'm working with a Yemeni text, and I'm not sure if in Yemen, this means a shirt or a vest. Or is it a flannel shirt?

Here's the sentence:

ذهب شاب من المقاومة إلى الحوش ووجدوا جثة يوسف، تعرف إليه ابني أمجد من فانليته، قال "هذا يوسف." ز

Many thanks!

فانيلة Between "undershirt" and "T-shirt", the former shouldn't be easy to recognize someone with while with the latter, it should.
Arabic & More Dec 24, 2021:
In Jordan, it would usually refer to an undershirt, but I am not sure about Yemen.
Saeed Najmi Dec 24, 2021:
فانيلة Could even mean "undershirt".

T-shirt

Besides the above mentioned answers, in slang Arabic a فانيلةcould mean a t-shirt as WELL. This meaning makes sense in this context as you can tell someone from their remarkable t-shirt rather than from an underwear top/ vest.
