Walosi & G3...
Walosi: Yeah, I know. My own wife makes comments like that. (Frequently) I got two extra inches of length spacifically to cover belt holsters. (I'm 6'3") I'm glad to hear that the "Taslan" is finished to look like cotton. (I didn't even know what Taslan was!) I'm also doubly glad that a "garment pro" like you speak's so highly of the quality. By the way--you DO have to pay a little more for the custom fit. But, that's been the norm. Oh, one more thing. The lady who makes them is going to put in a "wind flap". She explianed it was a velcro fastener that holds the front of the vest together even if you don't want to button it up completely.
G3: I passed "40" LONG ago.
I'm also retired (since I was 48, and THAT seems like a long time ago, too) I don't worry too much about being called a "dork". As a matter of fact, at the market the other night, my own wife said I looked like a "dork". I said, "What are you talking about"? She said, "You have two different shoes on, you old fart"!
Hell, they WERE both brown!
Both of you: I ordered the "Double Action" model in dark charcoal gray for myself and a dark (I made sure) navy blue for my wife. The D-A model has the capability for the hidden pistol pocket to be on either side and has seven pockets. The "Womens Model" has nine (!) pockets. My wife and I travel a lot and she needed a vest like this. (Lotsa pockets!) The inner pockets are different sizes and have a zipper closure. One size is perfect for a passport and the other size is deeper and perfect for airline tickets.
Of course, the hidden holsters will be removed when we fly commercial. I don't want even the hint of evil. I've already had to undergo a strip-search in Zurich due to a forgotten coin pouch which I failed to remove before going through the metal detector.
"Concealled Carry Clothier" vests are a "little" less expensive than Tilly vests, but have more pockets and, of course, the hidden holster. I think I'll call back tomorrow and order an extra pocket for my Seecamp. J-frame on one side, Seecamp on the other, Glock 27 in a belt holster. Sound's about right. Don't you think?
