I would like something wearable with pockets to store my stuff, but not pants pockets because they make my pants slip down a bit, and not shirt pockets because they fuck up the drape.
So a bag I guess. But more of a garment than that. So a harness? But not technical like every harness tends to be.

I don’t want to tell you how to live your life but I feel like you’re a prime Fanny pack / crossbody bag candidate.
I feel you but crossbodies also mess up the drape of my tops. Fannies are good but also usually technical looking. JJVE has some nice ones though.
Cargos with just one big pocket that go the full circumference of the leg. If you walk fast enough the items in these pockets will go in circles around your leg but don’t worry they’re staggered so they won’t hit the stuff in the other pocket
cords that go horizontally instead of vertically
call them cordurounds because they go around your leg
now we're talking
the inspiration for this question was this (text in article contains spoilers for The Bear):

eg holster bag might be what you're going for?
Psycho mantis type fit
This is pretty good. Just wish that snap buckle was a slider or belt buckle style instead. Still may consider though….
Painting work jacket. White denim or twill. Removable liner. Its got bellow pockets on the chest and hips, a couple of which would have individual holders for all the smaller tools you need to carry on the inside. It has horizontal flap pockets on the back like a filson cruiser.
I replaced mine with a double d ring for the same reason, it was a very easy diy
Yeah that’s the most basic mod
Super doable

oh damn, exactly the same time lol
we both knew exactly where to go
im suing for ip theft
a shirt with a cool picture or drawing on the front
I once tie-dyed some socks.
I'll have a downpour proof leather jacket please, for boring practicality reasons
Mittens for cats
I need gloves that keep me warm under 0 degrees weather but also enable me to use my phone
Phones often don't work under 0 F anyway 
RIP Cordarounds
Mittens with flaps are already a thing.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone over 10 wear them tbh, but if you can rock them good for you
Jibbitz Shirt
You've probably never seen anyone over 10 wear dinosaur converse either. But I still have dreams!
seriously, though, I would totally wear mittens with flaps. very practical.
I still wear a N95 face mask in public and I wish there were more fashionable options. I feel like the streetwear folks have found a place for medical-grade masks in their aesthetic, but that’s not really my scene. I want an N95-type mask that goes well with like, flannels and sweaters and stuff
this is my vision actually (I also couldnt find a cap where the brim is for jibbitz? the official crocs cap where the tightening buckle has jibbitz sized holes is more tasteful but thats not why im here. we're jibbitz-maxing)
Is there fabric under the jibbitz shirt piece or do your nipples risk sticking out the jibbitz holes
