Earl,
You might give Orvis a look. Their ranger jacket has lots and lots of big
pockets, both inside and outside, and the leather yoke makes carrying a tripod,
or other object, on the shoulder much more comfortable -- no seam to dig in and
bite. It's also light, comfortable and washable. I'm very well pleased with
mine.
