I first heard about SeV back when they barely had like 1 or 2 years in existence. Unfortunately however, living overseas,
and, living in a country whose credit-cards are not detected by websites (the websites just reply back with a message saying "the credit-card number is invalid"), I had to wait for a
very long time to buy a Scottevest, until this company was opened:
http://www.panamanetbuy.com, no more than 1 year ago.
Thanks to that company, I have
finally been able to order Scottevest products.
Similar to Scott Jordan, I too carry a mother-load of stuff with me, and I had nowhere
near "enough" pockets to carry even one-tenth of the amount of stuff I
needed (let alone
wanted) to take with me. My devices that I like to take with me include:
--my wallet (it's
seriously thick. all the wallets that I've owned up until now, have broken at the seams, wasted at the seams, or worn out at the seams, because I carry so many receipts, dollar bills, plastics (credit cards, video-rental-store cards, prepaid calling cards, driver's license, ID card, student ID, etc), and whatnot, in there)
--cellphone (currently a slider-type Nokia 5300 cellphone)
--2 MP3 players
--portable DVD player
--keys
--earphones for my MP3 player
--headphones for my portable DVD player
--magazine and/or paperback (or hardbound) chapter book
--pens
--digital camera and its carrying case, or a disposable film-camera
--sunglasses and its carrying case
--PDA
--Nintendo DS Lite, or Gameboy-Advance-SP, or Gameboy-Color (or the first two together)
--occasionally a CD player
wayyyy too much stuff to carry with you in average clothing. I only dreamed that there was something that had more than enough pockets to carry all these things, use them without taking them out of the clothing (if possible), and carry the gadgets and electronics
comfortably, without feeling the weight and/or "dread" of carrying so much stuff with you all at once. Unfortunately no clothes in existence (at that time) were like that, and when I told my mom about my concept of "clothes with the <above-mentioned characteristics>" she looked at me like if I was out of my mind. So I had no choice but to leave the majority of these things at home, and just take the "bare essentials": wallet, keys, and cellphone. I even later had to buy a mountain-climbing-type D-clip to clip my keys onto my belt-loop (when possible, because not all shorts have belt loops) so I wouldn't have to carry my keys in my pocket and bulk them up even more, because my only two available pockets were already taken up by my cellphone and my wallet.
If I wanted to listen to music, "no such luck", because I had no space to take my CD player nor MP3 player with me. Even the earphones and earphones-carrying-case would have to stay home because of this.
If I needed my sunglasses because of the glare of the sun, "no such luck", because I had no space in my clothes to put them or its carrying case, in.
If I wanted to take my Gameboy-Advance-SP or Nintendo-DS-Lite with me to play a video game on the road, "no such luck", because I had no space in my pockets of my pants, my shirt had no pockets, and my mom's purse was already filled and bulging to the point of outrageousness, with more stuff than women usually take with them in their purse.
Fortunately, thanks to Scott Jordan and Scottevest, my dream of having clothes like that, that you can carry as much stuff as you want with you, has come true.
