Yeah, I guess concealing a 1911 in a Speedo is kind of hard.

Woolrich, a 182-year-old clothing company, describes its new chino pants as an elegant and sturdy fashion statement, with a clean profile and fabric that provides comfort and flexibility.
And they are great for hiding a handgun.
The company has added a second pocket behind the traditional front pocket for a weapon. Or, for those who prefer to pack their gun in a holster, it can be tucked inside the stretchable waistband. The back pockets are also designed to help hide accessories, like a knife and a flashlight.
The chinos, which cost $65, are not for commandos, but rather, the company says, for the fashion-aware gun owner. And Woolrich has competition. Several clothing companies are following suit, building businesses around the sharp rise in people with permits to carry concealed weapons.
Their ranks swelled to around seven million last year from five million in 2008, partly because of changes to state laws on concealed handguns.
Shawn Thompson, 35, who works at an auto dealership in eastern Kentucky, bought two shirts last month from the Woolrich Elite Concealed Carry line. Both, he wrote on his blog, are a step up from more rugged gear.
“Most of the clothes I used in the past to hide my sidearm looked pretty sloppy and had my girlfriend complaining about my looks,” he wrote, adding in an interview, “I’m not James Bond or nothing, but these look pretty nice.”
The shirt has a barely discernible side slit with Velcro through which, he said, he can yank his Colt 1911 from his waistband holster. Depending on circumstances and mood, he might also carry a folding knife and, at night, a flashlight in a...

LOL. I’m in Jacksonville. We don’t dress like NJ mobsters on vacation up here!
I threw out all of my Levi’s jeans and ordered all dickies carpenter jeans. The Dickie’s have a back pocket that is the perfect size for my Taurus 740 Slim it is deep enough to be concealed and on the right leg the small pocket holds my knife and there is a deeper pocket right behind it which will hold my Surefire 6PX Pro or an ASP. The last time I ordered from Dickie’s direct them they told me all of their jeans are made in the USA.

Screw the NYT. I won’t log in, either.
I carry a S&W hammerless 38 special in a galco pocket holster inside my Dickies comfort waist trousers. It’s invisible.
I have the same. Love it.
If you don’t have to get up and go to work in the morning then comfort is the first consideration.
An Hawaiian shirt doesn’t have to hurt your eyes and you don’t have to tuck it in. Look for a nice one at Tori Richards. Khakis are fine if its formal. I’d go with Reef sandals. Nobody mistakes me for a tourist.
Oh and no matching tie. We don’ need not steeenking ties. Too hot down here. ;-)
I bet not many people buy or wear those T-shirts.

He replied....where else would you carry your 38 spec
Almost sounds good, but I guess it does beat a ‘man purse’

There’s a handgun in that photo?
Nothing says “concealed carry” like one of those vests. Might as well open carry at that point.
I know how you feel but believe or not it is harmless and it's free.
I created a NYT account yeeeeeeears ago in the real early days of the WWW and not once have I ever received anything from them except the original email to confirm 'you are you' (even if I got that?). No spam, no ads, no begging for subscriptions, nothing.
And since the NYT does have most of the leftist propaganda we need to see in order to mock, reading the entire article for 'hidden gems' is sort of important.
So go ahead, it is painless (and FREE), honest.

Nah, big difference. Keeps them guessing. Otherwise, I’d just wear a flashing neon sign.
Yeah, a "technical" -- an F-350 dualie with a twin ZU-23 AA gun mounted on the bed, with a crew of three (w/ sidearms) and a "shotgun guard" carrying an RPD MG and sidearm. And an AKM on the dash for the driver.
Something like that?
"Trayvon this."
You have NEVER wanted to bleach your eyeballs until you go to Old Orchard Beach, Maine, and see a 450 kilo Sasquatch furred French-Canadian wearing nothing but electric blue Speedos and flip flops, strolling down the street past the tattoo parlors...
I took your advice and did; thanks. But if Pinchy shows-up at my door, I’m sending him over to your house!
LOL.
In Chicago, Obama's home town, you're under-gunned... Holder's People are killing their own children, now. Mogadishu is safer, but it has better press coverage.
Thunder Runs on the South Side should include an Mbombe armoured car, and an M-1 Abrams as escort. Then you can go and pick up your laundry.
I like it!
No shit? Well, then, maybe it's time to stand back and let Tactical Air Command carry the package that will clean that out.
Cool. I even have a birthday coming up...
[and also hoping someone near has a Harpoon at the ready to kill whatever it is :-)]
Thanks—but no thanks—I never log in to the NYT.
Guess I will always have to wonder about these clothes-—LOL!

They have Obamazones in Russia??
Was it a male with man boobs, or a woman going topless? This IS a beach resort.
I never want to know.
Thanks!

Here’s the link to Andrews Custom Leather in Alacua FL.
Been my holster maker for about 15 years now... Top quality, custom made and great service!
Oh, SO have to get me one of those. Have the gear to put in it, just need to order one...
But they are "Guns R Us" .... which you need to take to a gunsmith and have polished up a bit. And made 922(r) compliant, so Thuggy of the ATF can't take it away from you. Takes a couple hundred bucks' worth of parts and bench time.
And you might as well, since you're in there, get an EOS sight for it and some rails.
OHHHH! Is there a link to buy the pants? Father’s day and hubby’s birthday are coming up, and these sound like a great idea for one or the other!
OH...that’s what I get for posting before reading the comments. Sorry!!! I just saw the link. :P
AIWB (appendix inside the waist band) solves the problem. The barrel of the gun holstered fits in the crease between the groin and leg; offers a fast a draw and discretion. Usually have to be a size larger shirt, and may have to buy bit larger shorts, pants. Also, a strong thick wide tactical belt is crucial.
Flowing Hawaiian style shirts offer even more multiple carry options which won’t print. 2 pistols AIWB, dual magazine pouch just behind hip bone, a fixed blade inside or outside belt, blackjack in front pocket, folding blade in rear pocket, etc.
Carrying only a .38 snubbie or small mouse guns is passe in my opinion for these modern times, but at least it’s something. I’ll take a little discomfort for security in the face of multiple attackers, etc, and that means a few quality military tested handguns options or secondary backup piece, extra magazines, in addition to blades, which offer silent treatment and are often overlooked for their paleolithic savagery.
gun, what gun I don’t see no gun
Thanks for the ping!
“..blades, which offer silent treatment and are often overlooked for their paleolithic savagery.”
LOVE IT!
I can think of situations where a knife would be the weapon of choice due to the stealthiness of it. Could do some real damage to a flash mob.
to me, that vest says “I love to fish! I love it so much, I’m going to wear my fishing vest EVERYWHERE!”
