I use a Cabela?s safari vest -- lots of big pockets, most with velcro closures, 
a couple large enough to swallow an OM and lens (if the lens is not of the  
telephoto persuasion).  I?ve just over 5?10? and it?s not too long for me, and 
it's quite comfortable, even when loaded.  I?ve had other genuine photo vests 
-- you could tell by the logo -- that weren?t nearly as good.  Here?s a link:

If you want something shorter, do a search for ?fly fishing vests?.  Cabela?s 
has several of these, and since they are intended for wear with waders, they 
are short enough not to drag in the water when you?re in it up to your waist.
