Here is how I roll.

I have a vest similar to what 451 posted, marketed by CAMPMOR. I wear it, at times, for comfort and at times when I want to CC. I also wear it at the Conservation Club while fishing/boating to be able to carry extra tackle and such.

I also use one of these for a cover garment, it is from Israel Military Products. The one I wear is in Khaki color rather than grey, works well over a polo or t-shirt. Israel Military Products IDF Army Surplus Store

I think after having lunch with Rhino yesterday, he approved of phrase "Rhino Gear"


then we discussed some other "Rhino-isms"

This is identical to what I wear. Before I got it, I commonly would wear a similar vest which is not a carry vest, just because it is my style.(No transition difficulties). I like the thing so much, I even wear it to church, where I can't carry. (school property and such)

Fleece vests (polartec, etc) are pretty common around here (and thus don't draw special attention). I rarely wear a VOMP (vest of many pockets) anymore unless I'm camping, fishing, etc. where it fits the context better. A more fashionable vest + cargo pants gets the same job done.

BTW, fleece vests go on sale in the Spring with the rest of the fall/winter wear.

Hawaiian and other printed shirts do the duty during summertime.

Vests.... make me look like a douche. Seriously.


I have no idea what "Rhino" gear is, but I carry my gun on me, flashlight in the pocket, ipod touch, cell phone, credit cards, cash, id, etc in a Maxpedition RAT wallet that is either on my belt or in my pocket dpeending, and a multitool.

None of this requires, a vest. its a wallet, a flashlight, a multitool and a gun.

I think its important that our cover garments are things people actually wear in our line of work / social circle.

Thats just me tho, vest it up if you dig it.

You arent a heavy guy, but I do know that the more overweight a guy is, the better he looks in a vest <that sounded.... kinda homo> and the skinnier a guy is, the more rednecky he ends up lookin.

my opinion

. . . but I carry my gun on me, . . . in a Maxpedition RAT wallet that is either on my belt or in my pocket . . .

Look like nifty wallets. Did you mean that you carry a gun in the wallet? They look a little small for that.

I've never seen anyone wear a vest outside of the 1500 show. I've been curious if these make it too warm to wear when it's hot outside.

Yes, IMHO. That's when the Hawaiian shirts come out when I wanna cover up, or when I need to dress a little more formally.

But they are nice in spring and fall.

I'm sorry but that made me laugh. Hawaiian shirts to dress more formally? LOL that's funny.

Really? That may explain the looks at the symphony....

 

[dom1104]

Do you carry a gun IN the wallet?

no heh its "ipod touch, cell phone, credit cards, cash, id, etc in a Maxpedition RAT wallet"

I carry the ipod, cell phone and credit cards / cash in it.

Meet INGO'er / ACT Instructor Rhino

He's been known to carry a few items on his person as well. Enough that I would probably need a backpack to carry them all.

Me and Hawaiian shirts get along really well.

If you put the right tie and shoes with one, you'd be surprised how "formal" they can be.

 

[HICKMAN]

I also need to increase my Hawaiian shirt collection

 

[dom1104]

Wow. he makes that 1911 look like an LCP!

If I was that big, I could probably conceal anything, and carry half a trunkfull of stuff in my cavernous cargo pants pockets.

I think I had better start eatin more cheetos. That sounds pretty nice actually.

IWB carry a 6 inch 10mm 1911 with no problems... it would be worth upsizing all my clothes
