I have no trouble getting an M6 with no lens (or perhaps a collapsible 50) 
into a suitcoat pocket, and an older 35 and 90 Tele-Elmarit with coupling cap 
into the inside suit pocket on the opposite side. (On the same side they pull 
the coat down too much).  For vests, the Orvis Travel Vest (www.orvis.com) 
(*not* the "Zambezi" version, I had to send it back) has 2 nice, deep 
nylon-lined zippered pockets that each will hold an M body with a 50/2 or 
35/2, plus there's pockets left over for lenses, film, even a table tripod in 
back.  I don't advocate carrying lenses in trouser pockets, though, unless 
you like hearing things like "Is that an APO-Telyt in your pocket or are you 
just happy to see me?"
