Pic request - CC in a suit

knoxlaw · September 6th, 2009, 06:22 PM

Does anyone have any pictures of them concealed carrying in a suit (w/o jacket)? I would be interested in seeing a smart carry, a supertuck and any other options that you think work well.

Thanks

Do you mean, suit slacks, suit jacket, dress shirt? Meaning, no overcoat/jacket of sorts?

Do you mean the entire getup minus the suit jacket?

Sorry.

I would like to see suit pants, dress shirt and tie. No suit jacket. Dress slacks, dress shirt and tie would be good as well. Again, no jacket/sport coat.

My thought is the jacket will not be on all of the time.

I posted some of me in a suit (no jacket) over at USCCA while wearing a Smartcarry.

Kind of boring...nothing to see here...move along.

i don't have any pics today, but easy to do in a suit, I avoid white shirts best I can... other than that, no probs

Long sleeved button-down shirt and slacks: You don't want the full image.

The holster is a tuckable I made from Kydex.

I don't have pictures, but I have purchased the smartcarry and crossbreed supertuck just last week. I wear a shirt and tie almost daily right now, and tried out the supertuck on friday--worked perfectly; I kept checking during the day, and was no printing. Crossbreed actually has a short video showing it off on their website.

The key is how you wear your shirts and what style more than the individual holster.

If you wear loose-fitting shirts and blouse them over your pants top and belt, you will do a better job of concealing. Same for pants - pleated front fit looser and conceal better.

If you wear body-tailored dress shirts and pants, you are pretty much going to print, no matter what. Again, same for the suit coat - tailored tight and you will print.

If you have your coats/jackets tailored to include the gun and holster, it becomes a non problem while wearing it. Any decent men's shop can tailor a little extra material on the strong side of the coat/jacket and put an extra layer of material on the inside over the gun position as well. Men's Wearhouse does this without batting an eyelash at the request.

This works very well. Not as crisp of a look as "body" tailored, but it can look completely natural.

on the crossbreed website they have a lil vid of a guy displaying the suppertuck, one of the positions is a tucked in shirt, it looks very hidden
