What's your favorite CCW wear and why?

My concealed carry class instructor calls those “shoot me first” vests. :-)
I see two guns.
One gun, two cannons
I am very surprised no one has mentioned cell phone holsters for the smaller CC guns. Love mine. Cover it if you want to, or out in the open. No one gives it a second thought or look.

in the summer cargo shorts with an untucked aloha shirt. since i qlways wear them the only difference was tucked in vs untucked.
I like Kakadu gun worn apparel. Its an Aussie company that makes pants and shorts with the holster and mag holders built into the pockets. They’re kind of like cargo pants, but don’t have pockets all over the place.
I’ve seen them. how’s the quality ?
I like double or triple stiched and bar-tacked seams. I’ve been meaning to try some Duluth Trading Fire Hose jeans.
They advertise tough and deep pockets.
I don’t have one of those, but hear I can get one via Bammycare.
Another way of looking at them is as effectively open carry without alarming the sheeple, since the thugs will strongly suspect you of being armed.
>>I am always amazed at first time CCW guys showing up in my class wearing a photojournalist SHOOT ME FIRST vest.
Has there ever been a case where the criminal shot the guy with the vest and didn’t shoot anyone else?
Good point. Hadn’t thought of it quite like that.
I hadn't thought of it like that, but he/she has a good point.
You’re right. 95% of the populace have no idea what a carry vest is. Probably just think you’re a photographer or love fishing.
They also make good tactical snack vests for going to movie theaters. I can hold enough snacks to feed a small army.
“Tactical snack vest”
Perfect!!!!
Kind of a man-purse.....Carry blow-out kit, additional first aid, extra flashlight/batteries, and sundries spread over a large area....comfy.
Just an observation, but the folks who notice a 5.11 or Duluth vest are the ones you’d want to. Fellow travellers, for obvious reasons. LEO, as a means of deselection, since the large percentage of officers on the ground support RKBA. Criminal actors, as a means of deselection since they usually don’t want to mess with an armed individual. Most sheople barely notice anything at all, condition white most of the time.
YMMV
5.11 jeans?
Wife says they are Dickies.... but I wear any jeans with lots of good pockets including some Carhartts. If need be, I will wear a long butt shirt and a belt holster.
>>I carry a pouch, holster and 9mm in back of the pouch,slung over my shoulder. I’m a senior, read my kindle a lot, which I carry in the bag along with some meds and first aid things. I’m never going to be a quick draw...but my camo is that old guy sitting there reading...the young tuffs at the mall don’t give me a second glance. Boy would they be surprised. I love CCW... People pass me and smile, nod a good day, security guards asking how the book is...all the while I’m sitting there cocked and locked, 19 rounds in the mag, one in the chamber...and a second 19 round mag in the pouch...and nobody even suspects. Works for me.<<
Situational awareness will give you plenty of time to leave the area or put your hand inside your pouch should you choose that option. Glad to see you have it worked out where suspicion that you might be carrying is minimal.
Excellent question ... please ping me if you get any examples.
