Why does the industry think Concealed Carry Pants need tons of pockets?
That really is one of those big questions that doesn’t get answered by the big clothing makers because they don’t really want to answer it. Concealed Carry pants are really from most people that ask about the stuff we sell, all about being able to wear them at work and pocket carry. It often amazes me that what is marketed by a few companies always has supposedly hidden leg pockets with tabs that flap in the wind when you walk and tell everyone you have a pocket there. Was Michael Jacksons famous leather jacket a ccw coat? Probable according to what we’ve seen show up here.
What everyone really wants is something with big hand pockets and if it has extra pockets, they should be shapped to look like normal pockets. To date, the only real pant that we have sold that wasn’t in the tactical pants category are the new Woolrich Elite Series Chinos. Other than that everyone else has something that we would consider to be tactical. If the rear wallet pocket has big pockets around it, it looks like rock climbing gear. It’s all about what you want, but if you want CCW pants, you’ll have a hard time finding it in the tactical clothing world.
