This sounds to me like a very good idea. I can certainly imagine myself misplacing stuff all the time :-) BTW: The ones I like best, judging from pics and description), among those offered at ebay are: The Canon Eos vest and the Fotodiox vest (Deluxe Pro Photo Vest)

I'm using a 10 year old vest from Eddie Bauer and find that the most important thing about using it is to always place specific items in the same pockets so as to not have to fish around looking for something in all the pockets, eg. unexposed rolls in a LH pocket & exposed film in a similar pocket on the RH side.
