They say clothes make the man/woman. I don’t know if that is true. Personality is what makes the man/woman. But when it comes to conceal carry, I believe that clothing does make a difference. I was able to find some great clothing that I could conceal while at SHOT Show 2023.
SHOT Show 2023: Concealed Carry Clothing
5.11 Hog Hunter S/S
Okay, so I’m done with winter. It can take off now to make way for warmer temperatures. Lighter shirts are more common in warmer temperatures, such as the Hog Hunter S/S by 5.11 Tactical. The Hog Hunter is comfortable in hot weather thanks to its Vent-Tac and side vents.
If your situation is heating up, a center-front RAPIDraw plaket with faux snaps gives you instant access to your concealed gun.

5.11 Defender Flex Jeans
Defender Flex jeans have been my favorite pair of jeans for quite some time. The pockets in the earlier versions were too small, which was a problem for me as I use my pockets. 5.11 has updated this with its Defender Flex jeans, which have deeper pockets. Perfect for pocket carry or EDC.
The innovative cotton/polyester mechanical stretch jeans offer excellent stretch and recovery. The jeans are comfortable throughout the day, regardless how much activity is involved. Each side also has an extra pocket at the rear, which is ideal for storing a magazine or two.

Viktos Zerodarker Down Jacket
It doesn’t hurt dressing for the occasion, even if winter lasts a while. The Zerodarker is made of mini-ripstop nylon and includes a megapack with 750-fill power down insulation. You will stay warmer in colder temperatures. NyCo reinforced elbows, shoulder overlays, and shoulder protectors add protection to the ripstop. You can also protect your shoulder while carrying a rifle.
The Zerodarker shines when things go wrong. Fourstack’s dedicated rifle magazine chest pockets will keep your rifle stocked for the long-term. Wingman upper chest pockets provide additional space for magazines and other accessories. Each side has a Gunvent sidearm zipper that allows you to access your concealed carry gun.

Viktos Range Trainer Jersey
Cooler weather has one thing I love: Jackets, coats, and hoodies make it much easier to carry via a shoulder strap holster. Even with the best holster, it can be difficult to carry a shoulder holster for more than a day. This is where Viktos’ Range Trainer Jersey comes in.
The jersey’s NyCo shoulder overlays make it a great underlayer. The jersey’s shoulders are better protected against friction from plate carriers, slings, and shoulder holsters. The Coolmax/cotton blend keeps your body from overheating during warmer days.

Beyond Clothing Arx 2.0 L6 Rain Jacket
Beyond Clothing’s Arx waterproof membrane is 3-layer Lutra. The jacket’s rugged CORDURA fabric ensures it can withstand harsh use in the backcountry without causing any damage. A 20,000mm/20,000g waterproof/breathable rating keeps you and anything under/in the jacket protected from drenching downpours.
Concealed carry is mandatory when you travel into the backcountry or on city streets. Beyond Clothing has included side zippers to make it easy to get your firearm when you need them most.

Dene Adams Concealed Carry Corset
The Concealed Carry Corset by Dene Adams is designed with the same benefits of actual shapewear but has a hidden benefit. A holster and a magazine pouch are included. The corset molds to your body to conceal your firearm or personal protective device. The soft holstering compartment has a fast breakaway tab that allows for faster draw time.
The corset is lightweight and comfortable, and can be worn under any garment. The new corset also has twice the accessory storage. You should carry your firearm if you plan on wearing a corset.

Dene Adams Thigh Holster shorts
Concealed carry can be difficult for women because of the way skirts and dresses look. The Thigh Holster shorts by Dene Adams address this problem. You can keep your firearms close with the inner-thigh holstering compartment. You don’t need to worry about printing.
Dene Adams placed the holstering compartment in a way that minimizes the risk of gun grip rubbing. The compartment can hold any personal protection device such as a gun, taser or pepper blaster, knife or stun gun. A second accessory compartment can be found on the outside of the opposite leg for additional magazines, knives, and so forth.

Madison Creek Outfitters Kennesaw
The Kennesaw is named after a town that once required all household members to have a firearm and ammunition. Madison Creek Outfitters has designed two pockets inside the vest for concealed carry. Each vest comes with a removable holster. A vertical zip pocket on the exterior provides additional storage space for magazines.
The Kennesaw is made of Travel Twill (65% cotton/35% Polyester) for longer life. The Kennesaw proudly displays a Second Amendment graphic as a lining graphic.

Nexbelt NTAC-45
Nexbelt has been my belt for over a year and I don’t see any reason to change. I was curious to see what they had on SHOT Show 2023. The NTAC-45 is made of durable nylon materials that can withstand high loads and can carry everything you need. The updated buckle also features a double trigger buckle mechanism for extra security.
The NTAC-45 also features an upgraded heavy-duty track system that can handle heavy loads. It is worth noting, however, that the new NTAC 45 is 1.75 inches. This makes it more suitable for duty holsters, IWB, wide looped OWB or IWB. The NTAC-45 is easy to resize at your home. It will fit up to 50 inches in waist. It can also be adjusted to fit smaller waists.
