32. I have a Scottevest that I use when traveling.

Back in 2010 I got a Scottevest before going to Italy. I keep most of the stuff in a pocket that would be pretty hard to get at without me noticing, and I switch what pocket I keep my stuff in too. They're not cheap but they are quite durable - I've had mine overseas on three trips. Really came in handy last month when I was in Rome to carry an extra lens for my camera. My only complaint is that the rust colored one only goes well with certain colors (mainly blues and darker grays) - but that's entirely my own fault. I think next time I'd definitely look at a different color.

I also take one of those neck wallets with me too for those times where I don't want to wear the vest, like those nights when we had formal dinners.
