We get a lot of customers asking us about the new Eotac line of clothing. It’s no secret that the people behind Eotac were originally behind Woolrich Elite Series tactical clothing. Many of the products that first came out were very close to the Woolrich Elite products that have been out for several years and were also variations of what 5.11 Tactical has been selling. There are some differences that you will notices as soon as you put on the clothes and recently I had a phone conversation with a customer that mentioned he needed something that gave him more mobility that 5.11 pants.
This military style jacket is designed for modern flashlights and single or double stack mags. When we need to do a lot of heavy lifting, I don’t like loading my belt up with a belt that looks like Batmans utility belt. The pocket designs are very well made and the snap buttons on the pocket are what puts it in a A+ category for tactical gear. When you hear the click of the buttons you don’t have to worry about watching your 15rd doubel stack 9mm mags flying out of the pockets while your doing physical work. This jacket is defanitely not as heavy looking as it is in some of hte pictures and can easily become a Winter jacket by wearing a good base layer under it.
When it’s that hot out that your risking dehydration, you seriously need to consider the type of clothing you are wearing. Those wearing body armor or carrying more gear than the usually CCW gun owner need as many pockets as possible. Trading your tactical pants in for tactical shorts that have almost the same pocket designs is hard to find. There is also a very diverse opinion on the inseams of the shorts that people wear and there’s no real in between.
I’ve heard that line asked about 5 times a month. You have to realize the number of people that carry guns in our society vs. the number that don’t. I’d say that in most cases, 98% of people in our society aren’t looking to spot a CCW holder and won’t suspect that are unless that are sloppy at concealing it. I highly recommend that most gun carries consider atleast 3 ways of carrying a firearm concealed. In most parts of the Country people have to consider a warm weather and cold weather method, then there is always a reason to consider what method one could carry a full size auto.
When a CCW carrier is carrying a firearm in the winter, we can understand why they may want a firearm in a pocket outside of their body, but I recommend putting some thought into how you wear your clothing and how a firearm can be reached in when wearing heavy clothing. Jackets that hold firearms will have to come off if you’re in a house or building that gets hot, so then what do you do with your gun? The Eotac Style 102 CCW Vest is cut very long and is great for concealing in warm weather, but not a firearm retention vest.
Open carry isn’t stopping Police Officers in Philadelphia from being shot at. Wearing a blue uniform in that City and wearing body armor meant over 6 police officers being killed at more than double that being shot in the last 2yrs. If you are that concerned about being “Made” with a firearm, carry a different gun. Pocket and ankle carry are suitiable for white color environments and I don’t know any BG that wants 5 or 6 shots of 32acp-44 Special in their chest from a well trained law abiding gun owner.
One of our biggest selling apparel item is the Eotac Style 102 Vest. This vest is very similiar to the Woolrich Elite vest, but they are outselling them 3 to 1 these days. The only real difference we see is the lack of a pen pocket on the upper left pocket which means absolutely nothing to our customers. These have very low below the belt line and are a great OWB or Paddle holster CCW vest. You will easily be able to conceal a full size auto with one of these. The Style 102 vest is made of 100% cotton ripstop and is a very, very lightweight concealment garment.
Most of us that are in the industry are wearing some sort of tactical pants or ccw pants for most of the year. When it gets into the summer months we have to think about losing some of the accessories and gear or having to sweat it out. For most of the year, lightweight pants are a good option even if we know we’re going to be sweating it out, it’s good to have pants that can protect you from poison ivy or bug bites.
If you are toting around a knife, flashlight, gun, keys and a wallet, you might find regular jeans are pretty stuffed in the pocket area. If you have to tuck a shirt in you’ll be even more cluttered. Many recommend avoiding the clip on knife in the pocket as a dead giveaway that you are carrying, so what do you do? If you are familiar with the Eotac Style 204 cotton canvas pants, the Eotac style 205 concealed carry pants are identical but made in a jean fabric.
