This past weekend I got a pair of Buskergear shorts. All I can say is WOW I can hold three baseballs (it could probably handled more but that is all I use) in my pockets and you can NOT tell!!! Here is kicker they are heavy duty but so comfortable it feels like you are wearing pajamas. I like them so much I ordered second pair.

You can get them on this website. buskergear.com

Thanks Shel

I've got the vest (2, actually) and I use it everyday. A great piece of equipment, but I fund the topit to be too highly placed to be useful. My experience with topits being limited to the Ammar style one.

Despite that, I still use it all the time.

I've got a vest too. It's a solid piece of gear. The inner/outer pocket connection is very well thought out and helped me create new sequences with my sponge ball routine.

I got the workers' vest. I use it every time I'm out on the street, and would feel lost without it. I value it highly even though I don't use many of its features [because of the tricks I do]. The outer waist-height pockets are big, and you get a nicely-positioned thumb tip holder in one of those pockets that I shortened to suit my TT. Don't be afraid to discuss features with before you buy.

I order a vest two weeks ago, still waiting for delivery. I will let you know once I try it out after it arrives.

MagiCol, FunTimeAl, what is your opinion on the Topit feature do you agree with Gaddy? Any troubles with the Topit feature?

Gaddy, you stated that you order two, did you ask for adjustments on the Topit for the second vest?

My understanding is that each vest is made to order.

No I didn't. Perhaps I should have. Cheers!

I believe each vest is made to order. I added magnets to mine like Cellini suggested in his Art of Street Performing video, so my topits work like a charm.

Jerry, I make minimal use of my top left pocket topit to pull out of it a long silk that I have tucked into the optional big pocket across the inside back of the vest.
I would have liked my vest to be several inches longer in the back as the big inside pocket there is too high for me to reach back into.
I mentioned earlier how much I like my vest - I've had it almost 2 years now.
Best wash is in warm water only. Ask Bobby if you don't get washing instructions with the vest.

I was pleasantly surprise to receive my vest today!

Everything is as advertised. Re-enforced pockets entries, two holders for TT, two T0p***, all pocket access (ready in between the lines). I understand Gaddy's point about certain pocket positions. I going to follow FunTimeAl's suggestion and get the Cellini DVD's to make the vest modification.

I want to work with the vest some more, but so far (for me at least) this is one of the most important tools I have purchased. I have been researching the various options of this type and this seems to be the best of the best.

I am considering doing Busking as a profession and I am trying to line-up all of my equipment, this is my keystone. I will update further.

I totally agree. This vest was built for someone of average trunk/torso size. With a few 3 inches or so of extra length, it would prefect fit taller guys with longer torsos.
