Thanks for the responses. Perhaps I should clarify a bit. I do indeed mean bib overalls...I live in the south and these are still culturally quite normal to wear. Specifically I live in Tennessee, so I can carry concealed or openly...I'm just looking at the concealed angle with this.
What I have done is made a small, heavy cloth pouch with an elasicised top which buttons into the bib of my overalls to carry my PA-63. While it works and doesn't print, it is a little clumsy to get at since the entire pistol is enclosed in the pouch. It also has the advantage that I can take it out and use it in other overalls, or for laundering. I have an average build, not much of a gut to work around, but not a stringbean either. For those of you have never worn overalls, sliding or holding your hands inside the bib is not that unnatural nor unusual (note I said inside the bib, not inside the fly area!), and is a natural place to conceal a pistol for quick access.
I've been thinking about rigging some sort of loops, tabs, or something that I could attach a simple leather IWB holster to to hold the pistol at somewhat of a crossdraw angle where I could grasp the grip of it and draw per normal, but I've come up short on solid ideas. If I could rig such an arrangement, wherin the holster could be removed for laundering, or to change pistols; then I could also carry either my 1911 or my .38 as my taste suits. Just thought I would wing it out there and see what other guys have tried.
