A Fashion-Forward User’s Guide to Concealed Carry
THE RIGHT FIT Pairing stylish clothing with the sometimes awkward bulge of a firearm is a topic we feel deserves a fresh look here at concealedonline.com. To begin with, the term “concealed carry” suggests handgun access coupled with public discretion. But for some, any old shirt or jacket that hides a holster is acceptable, whereas for the more discriminating armed civilian, concealed carry has to resolve other expectations as well.
A Fashion-Forward User’s Guide to Concealed Carry • Just Business, Baby • If a suit-and-tie is your outfit of choice, then this is right up your alley. • Businessmen who carry for personal protection have a built-in advantage given that their bulky attire provides great cover. A suit, in fact, is probably the most effective method for reducing “printing.” • Another benefit is the type of holster you can carry. Business attire allows for added variety: paddle-on-the-hip or behind-the-back, IWB, shoulder or ankle holsters are all acceptable when wearing a suit. • Another consideration for a suit wearer is whether you need to take off your jacket or wear it unbuttoned. An unbuttoned jacket can conceal either kind of behind-the-back carry but is a bad choice for a hip holster or under-the-arm type if the wearer moves around a lot.
A Fashion-Forward User’s Guide to Concealed Carry • All About Being Business Casual • The suit-and-tie thing is great, but business casual is the preferred style for plainclothes cops, bodyguards, secret agents, or anyone carrying a gun as part of the job. It straddles both the respectable and practical worlds, often including a jacket, which makes it perfect for pros in these lines of work. • That said, non-pros should also consider the jacket-and-slacks, dresscasual combo. It offers plenty of places to conceal a weapon plus makes you look well-dressed relative to the average guy on the street. • People who notice you will be thinking, “Dude looks good,” not, “Dude looks like he’s packing heat.” •
