I have been looking for a vest big enough to carry my 17" laptop through the airport.
I have been doing some research and the alternatives to Scottevest seem to include the following.
If anybody has any comments about the following sellers or knows of any seller not on the following list , please let me know. Thanks a million.

--- Scottevest is suing them for copyright infringement.
But they seem to have the biggest range of products compared to other Scottevest competitors.

Jaktogo

--- Has an ugly logo on the outside.
Looks pregnant front and back if too much stuff. Not as good looking as Bagket.
Definitely designed for cheapskates who want to advertise themselves as such ; for utility rather than style.

Rufus Roo Big Pocket Travel Jacket
www.rufusroo.com
--- The cheapest of all of them I have found so far.
--- They don't answer email or any question I have about their product. Period.
Big warning sign. So don't bother buying from them.
................Haven't done much research about the following products:
