In my climate I wear all types of vests and none look out of place--sweater vests, Cabela's safari vest, and especially a microfiber vest.

Here it is not unusual for someone to wear a vest in spring, fall or winter; even in summer on a cool evening or windy day. And, no, they do NOT "scream gun".

Just today we went for coffee to a Panera Bread shop and I wore a black microfiber vest to cover the Kramer MSP paddle holster. They are usually a "golfy" type of attire, but with jeans, a black one looked just fine. They tend to blouse up with extra material just above the waist area, right where cover is needed. I suggest checking out this type of vest for a cover garment. For a look at what I'm talking about, here's a link: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...vest&noImage=0

I tend to like to use an open button-up type shirt for cover. Or a sweater/sweatshirt. A vest may not scream "gun" to normal people (whoever they are) but to a gun person and probably a criminal they may give an indication. Why risk it?

That microfiber vest OTH looks interesting.

Because I've found that it covers a lot better than an open shirt. It's a lot heavier and doesn't blow open as easily. And I can use the pockets.

I don't care if another gun legal gun owner notices it -- I'm not worried about them. As for criminals knowing about it, personally I think that's giving them too much credit.
