Concealed Carry Clothing Options
Shirts. Wearing a nifty new shirt is a moot point if you have to unbutton or reach underneath your shirt to gain access to your handgun in an emergency. Concealed clothing manufacturers are now offering left or right hand models in your choice of several different colors and sizes that feature false buttons (closures are actually magnets or similar to Velcro) which allows you to easily open the shirt for quick access to your concealed handgun.
Pants. A wide variety of pants and shorts made specifically for concealed carry are available in khaki, cargo, and jean styles. These garments feature extra large front pockets with a built in pocket holster that will accommodate full sized handguns and provide wearers with the quickest possible access to your handgun because all you have to do to draw your gun is insert you hand into your front pocket and withdraw it.
Vests. Another concealed carry clothing option that does not employ either a waistband holster or a shoulder holster is to wear a concealed carry vest. This type of garment is available in numerous styles and materials and is designed to be significantly longer than a standard vest so that it will easily conceal a handgun carried in either a compression brief or a waistband holster. In addition, they also feature numerous extra pockets for carrying extra magazines, tactical flashlight, tactical folding knives, and more.
Jackets. If you find shoulder holsters uncomfortable due to the straps from which they are suspended, another option is a concealed carry jacket. This type of garment features an internal pocket on the front flap of the jacket on either side for left hand or right hand access to your handgun, and it also serves as both a fashionable and warm outer wear garment. One of the major advantages of this type of concealed carry garment is that that you can wear a jacket into a business that allows concealed carry such as restaurants, but when your remove your jacket, your handgun stays with the garment.
Underwear. One problem with carrying a concealed handgun is hiding it during warm or hot weather. Both waistband and shoulder holsters require the user to wear a jacket in order to conceal them. Several manufacturers have now addressed this problem by creating both briefs and tee shirts with built in pockets designed specifically to contain a firearm. In addition, they are available for both men and women in numerous different sizes. Compression briefs for both men and women incorporate two pockets positioned over each cheek of your posterior to function like a waistband holster but do not require a belt or holster to hold the handgun in place. Compression tee shirts that hug your body like a second skin and incorporates two pockets (one on either side) enable both sexes to carry a full sized handgun in the same position as a shoulder holster. Many t-shirts are made from fabrics especially designed to wick moisture away from skin to keep you cool in hot weather.
Pants. A wide variety of pants and shorts made specifically for concealed carry are available in khaki, cargo, and jean styles.
