Vesthibitionism:

"Vest" reminds me of clothes, and "hibitionnism" makes me think about exhibitionism.
So maybe it �s the fact of showing your clothes, the funniest would be the fact of enjoying showing one �s undergarment!! LOL

LOL I simply love ikebana �s second guess!! Just imagine someone jumping out of your closet wearing a vest only and scaring you to death!!!! *LOL*
 
Today, I haven �t got any own ideas, SORRY, but I tend to agree with stefemma who thinks it�s the habit of showing your underwear to everybody!

the doctrine that "vests" (which also reminds me of clothes)  must be prohibited????

something like hardcore nudism?

well its flirtatious /vulgar (?) display of female undergarments

I remember an old-fashioned word "Vestib�l" - which is a room, but don �t ask me which.

So, my guess is:
Being proud of showing my home / house / flat to everyone!

in French "un vestibule" is the entrance hall in a house and we all know what "exhibitionism" means - so Vesthibitionism probably means "when someone gets undressed in their entrance hall and wanders in their house naked"!

otherwise, my over guess is "when someone wears a coat (a "veste" in French") and nothing else" to see what I mean, have a look at the last scene of the movie "Bridget Jones � diairy"!!!

have a nice day!

Vest is an article of underwear, hibition comes from prohibition, -ism means it �s a noun so
  Vesthibitionism is the fact of being prohibited to wear a vest.

Vesthibitionism
 
this is a new fashion for young ladies  they wear vests ( coats) and are naked under the vests which would explain "hibitionism" which means show or exhibit Clap their beautiful naked bodies
