They're called belt pouches and were the shit in medieval times. They came in all shapes and sizes, some very specific designs, some more general, for all kinds of ourposes. There were even belt-books and coin purses. I mean, the T-shirt brought back the tunic, so why not let's all switch back to long but airy robes and a belt with two pouches?
Adding to this, for a very long time in history, women's pockets were a seperate garment and all long skirts and dresses would simply have slits so you could access them, you basically wore two bags left and right on a seperate belt under your clothes.
This is actually what I want for travelling!

Ohhh I love this! Saved, thank you. Not that I'll ever get around to doing this, but when I show my friends they'll think I'm cool AF. Maybe I will get around to it though.
I've been doing belt pouches for years and am a big fan
As long as I don't have to wear hose.
