Concealed Carry Vest

But the real concealed pockets are present on the inner side of the vest, usually on the right side, because that becomes convenient to immediately put the hand in the concealed pocket and remove the pistol or handgun that is inside it.

However, for people who are more comfortable with their left hands, there are such versions of the vests too. That said, most of the vests have inner pockets on both the right and the left side of the vests so that they can be used in a much more versatile manner.

The highlight of all concealed carry vests (also called concealment vests) is definitely the number of pockets that they have. Some of them may have as many as 30 pockets, but having 15-18 pockets is considered the norm. These pockets are present at the chest, the abdomen, the side, the inside and even in the space between the chest and the abdomen.

Most of the pockets are closable by Velcro fasteners but a few of them might have zippers to open and close them. The zippered pockets are few because many people consider zippers to be inconvenient because they do take more effort in operating them than Velcro fasteners. These pockets are of various sizes, so that they can carry stuff of different sizes quite conveniently.

Most concealment vests will have D-shaped loops on them also. These are useful in hanging key chains, pen torches, penknives and such. These are generally present below the chest pockets.

Concealed Carry Clothing

Concealed carry vests are made without sleeves. An outer jacket is usually meant to go above it, thus adding more meaning to the concealment aspect of this type of concealment clothing or holster. That is one of the reasons why these vests are sleeveless.

They have zippered fronts generally, though there are some that don’t have any closures out in the front at all, not even buttons. This allows the wearer to easily reach into their inner side and draw the concealed pistol or handgun whenever needed. 

Some concealed carry vests have a drawstring-type arrangement at the bottom hem so that they can be made tighter on the body. This comes in handy when the vest is worn during some dexterous activity such as rock climbing or even jogging.

Today, concealed carry clothing has gained a different fashion standing of their own. Men and especially boys wear them just because these jackets are considered macho and they go with any kind of bottom wear, especially denim and corduroy pants, regardless of whether or not you’re actually carrying a gun in the vest.
