keep something secret, to hold something close so no one else can see it

Though it was just a friendly game of Go-Fish, Henry kept his cards close to the vest, not letting anyone else see which cards he held.

The vest that the guitarist and lyricist for Panic! At The Disco, Ryan Ross, used to wear at shows until he lost it in New Zealand. Many people are angry because of this and others wonder how any body could lose something so bright-colored and noticeable. The vest had the ability to make girls swoon and people stare in amazement. The infamous Rose Vest has it's own MySpace, but it is not run by Ryan Ross himself.
