Wal-Mart garb for techies?

Do you have a particular article of clothing that’s great for carrying tech gear?

Let us know.

My friend Kathleen Waterbury Reilly, who lives in Pennsylvania, swears by Wal-Mart’s cargo shorts. There are a few different types on walmart.com, but Faded Glory Women’s Plus Cinched Cargo Bermuda Shorts, with six pockets, are the ones she loves. She has three pairs—at $14 a pop!

She uses the side leg pocket for her BlackBerry (RIMM), and by doing that, she says, “I’m having far fewer accidental dials than when I throw it in my purse. Also, it’s much easier to find and to hear.”

Trust me, Kathleen doesn’t need to scrimp on her apparel. (Her 15-year-old daughter, Tricia, who is a fan of TLC’s What Not to Wear as well as the family’s fashion police, wishes her mom would shop elsewhere.) But don’t you get the sense that just about everybody who’s upscale and sophisticated, like Kathleen, is shopping at Wal-Mart (WMT) these days?

Alas, the six-pocket Faded Glory cargo shorts are sold out on walmart.com. (Guess they’re popular beyond the Reilly household.)

Tell us, please: What’s your favorite tech-friendly clothing or accessory? If it’s a bargain, all the better!
