My question: How do you wear them? I'm referring to these

Of course, the obvious assumption is that they hang around your neck
like a necklace,

I don't have that model, but I wear mine necklace style ... it has a little
clip that I attach to my shirt to keep it from flopping all over when I'm
walking or bending over. If you make yours longer, include a way to keep
this flopping from getting in your way. It's nice in hot weather, or for
long walks, but generally I prefer my 'fully stocked fly shop' ... i.e. vest

My lanyard has the cord overlapping in a spring loaded adjustment dealie ...
so that a strong pull would pull it apart. Such a breakaway feature is
important for safety, you don't want to dangle by the neck from a sweeper.
