Jacket to bag

Hi everyone,
I am getting ready to travel to Africa and I am looking for a good Vest/camera bag
I have looked at the Langley Jacket and it seems to be pretty good
I will also have a carry on bag and a check in bag
Some time ago I came across a jacket that turns into a bag but cannot remember where.
has anyone seen such a thing and where would I be able to purchase (I live in Australia) ?
Main reason looking for something like this is because of the weight restrictions on carryon imposed by the Airlines and their strict compliance with them (Emirates impose this in Dubai)
I once travelled to Canada with gear (since added to) and carried a lot of gear in my Jacket pockets to avoid the restrictions but was uncomfortable with the gear in the jacket as it was not designed to be used that way
Thanks in advance
Bob

I have a wonderful packable "duster" full length jacket made by (or sold by) The Outback Trading Co. LTD. The one I have is style #2406 Packable Duster RN90143 It turns into a small very lightweight pack with room for more, when stuffed into an interior zippered pocket. Mine is the lightweight style and they also sell a heaver oilskin version.

Thanks for reply but I was looking for something a bit more substantial
