What kind of clothing does a farmer wear around his chest when gathering crops in late October?
A har-vest
This riddle plays on the word 'harvest,' which means gathering crops during the autumn season. By splitting the word into 'har' and 'vest,' it creates a pun on a warm clothing item worn around the torso in cool weather. Solvers can find the answer by combining the autumnal crop-gathering act with a common garment.
