CHICAGO HANDGUN OWNER Posted December 18, 2018 at 12:27 AM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 12:27 AM Do they make pants with heavy duty pockets for pocket carry? My typical Levis jeans have kind of a weak pocket and I can feel my guns stressing on it when I carry. I haven't lost any guns yet but I don't want to be that guy who does.

What are you pocket carrying? I have never had an issue with jeans or cargo shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fife Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:26 AM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:26 AM I did buy one of their firehose jackets recently during their 30% off sale. I have to say that I'm very happy with the jacket for the price I got it at. Wish I could have gotten some ballroom pants for the old firehose heh heh! Bada Bing!

chicagoresident Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:41 AM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:41 AM I wish Deluth made a line of carry clothes because they're so close with their regular clothes. Their firehose pants have enough room to pocket carry subcompact double stacks with holster and their jeans have a nice elastic wasteband that's great for IWB.

CILhunter Posted December 18, 2018 at 12:43 PM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 12:43 PM I wear Riggs pants from Menards. Plenty strong for when I pocket carry, but I usually do AIWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyP Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:01 PM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:01 PM One of these days I need to visit the Duluth Trading store in Downers Grove to see their products in person. The stuff isn't Walmart priced so I'm leery of shopping online for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:28 PM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 02:28 PM I wish someone made hemp or nylon inner pockets. My problem is that the butt of the gun rubs a hole in my pockets... http://www.illinoiscarry.com/forum/uploads/monthly_12_2018/post-3474-0-40170300-1545143198.pnghttp://www.illinoiscarry.com/forum/uploads/monthly_12_2018/post-3474-0-03119500-1545143218.png Eventually the wear spot in these jeans ^ turned into a hole in my pocket and I don't wear these anymore.

Bitter Clinger Posted December 18, 2018 at 03:45 PM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 03:45 PM I have a few pairs of Duluth Ballroom jeans. Greatest invention ever for a man and I'm not sure why nobody ever thought of this before. Anyway, the do make a version with heavy duty pockets. I have one of those pairs in black and the pockets are thicker cotton which are colored brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vito Posted December 18, 2018 at 04:19 PM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 04:19 PM I carry a Ruger LC9s as my everyday carry, in a DeSantis pocket holster. Normally I wear Wrangler jeans from Target and have no trouble comfortably carrying the gun and concealing it fully. I normally wear my shirt out of my pants as well. I haven't found a need to spend $70 or $80 on jeans from Duluth Trading or other high end retailers and I carry every day. In fact, I have now been retired for over 5 years, and I think that there have been less than a dozen days when I have had to wear something other than jeans or shorts. And while sometimes I carry OWB, most of the time I comfortably carry in-pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa Posted December 18, 2018 at 04:27 PM Share Posted December 18, 2018 at 04:27 PM Get a DeSantis Super Fly pocket holster like this --> https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/249431/desantis-super-fly-holster?utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Shooting%20-%20Holsters%20%26%20Belts&utm_content=249431&cm_mmc=pf_ci_google-_-Shooting%20-%20Holsters%20%26%20Belts-_-DeSantis%20Holster-_-249431&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-ILJsOSp3wIVQZppCh349wbaEAQYASABEgLdqPD_BwE The cover flap can be adjusted to cover the grip which does two things. It completely breaks up the outline of a firearm and also protects the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted December 26, 2018 at 05:27 AM Share Posted December 26, 2018 at 05:27 AM 1000D Cordura is supposed to have fairly high abrasion resistance. I'm thinking of just paying to have a tailor take the right pocket out of my next pair of jeans and replace it with 1000D Cordura. I don't think Cordura feels good against skin, so I might have them put a slightly larger cotton sleeve around the Cordura. I'll also get rid of the pocket-watch mini pocket which is annoying... http://www.rockywoods.com/1000-Denier-Coated-Cordura-Nylon-Fabric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoresident Posted December 27, 2018 at 02:40 AM Share Posted December 27, 2018 at 02:40 AM https://totersjeans.comIt's close to what we'd all want, but I'd question retention and trigger protection. Notice none of the 1911's featured in their product photos are locked and cocked. I'd love to see some system that combines a minimal full Kydex holster that attaches Molle/PALS strap inside the pocket. The biggest issue I see with most concealment cloths is they concern themselves more with concealment then AD safety, retention, and draw. The other problem a system like this would solve is being able to move your gun while holstered in and out of on body carry to a PALS mount in your car without having to unholster. All I'd ask for is a pair of jeans and a hoody with this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
