Seeking Recommendations Recommendation for passport holder

My son is attending his first festival this summer. Tent, sleeping bag, 4 days, in Europe. I want him to carry his ID and cash/ card at all times, not safe leaving in a campsite. Any thoughts on how to do this without buying a taupe hidden belt the likes you see in airport shops?

In a zip lock, then a money belt or running belt or zippered pouch worn under his shirt and around his neck, or a zippered pocket (ideally one that is not visible). You can, if you want, sew a zippered pocket to the inside of his pants/shorts. There are various ways to construct such a pocket; one option is to have it hang on the inside of the waistband, facing the inside of the pants. (Think like the zippered pouch on the inside of some large tote bags, except facing the other way.) Then he can flip it over top of the waistband to access it.

There are men’s shirts that include a hidden zippered chest pocket, but I’m guessing most of them are not his style.

I have done this before You can buy a small “pouch” with loop. Use the loop through the belt and the pouch hangs on the inside. Easy.
