"I was wearing a Photo Vest that I bought through the Hammacher Schlemmer mail order catalog. It's made by Woolrich. I looked at the Domke, Tamrac, Billingham, Banna Republic, but was unimpressed by them all. And all were between $150 and $300. This Woolrich vest has the right pockets in the right place for traveling with the M6. It is 100% cotton and only $89.95. Hammacher Schlemmer is at 800-543-3366. The item is #60366. I had my 35/1.4 ASPH on the camera, the 50/2 in the left breast pocket, the 90/2.8 in the right breast pocket. Heliopan 46 & 39mm polarizers in their case, in the small zipper pocket below the 90/2.8 . This pocket exactly fits the two filters. The left lower outside pocket contained film, and the right outside pocket is split down the middle. I used the right half for exposed film, the left half for a cable release and hot shoe bubble level (Hama), and clean micro fiber cloth. There are numerous other pockets for passports, tickets, including a large pocket on the back which easily carried a long sleeve shirt/jacket."
