An interesting article about American fashion but what is it with Americans and there egos that force them to claim to be the inventors of everything!
This "fake news" story goes back to 1911
https://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/science/clothing_in_antarctica_2.php and shows layering and experimentation was going on at the turn of the century, well before WWII. In fact people have been laying and experiementing with clothing for thousands of years.

I think if you read it slightly more carefully the claim is not to have "invented" layering but to the scientific investigation of its effectiveness.
Article fails to mention Pail Siple too
