New A-Tacs pattern camo coming in Spring
This weekend was another big weekend for us in displaying the new A-Tacs pattern cammo from Eotac. We got a lot of inquiring responses from people walking around the NTOA, National Tactical Operations Assoc. in Pittsburgh this week. More than a few of the people made comments about how bad the military digital camo was and that it looks more like a blob than melts with it’s background. The A-Tacs pattern is still in production but we are looking for a Spring delivery date.
The A-tacs pattern is going to be a big hit, my only hope is there is enough production to keep up with the demand. The style 201 operator pants have a proven design and will be part of the first run in tactical pants for the A-tacs pattern. My only wish was that these pants would be available before archery season because more than a few people mentioned at how good the pattern would be for hunting as well as military applications. The pattern we saw and displayed was for urban environments.
This summer has already been hotter than the summers that I remember in the previous decade. Since I’ve been wearing the same clothing or similiar types of clothing for the past coupl years, I can really feel the changes in seasons. In New Jersey we get all 4 Seasons, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring. Good luck in trying to wear the same pants or shirt through all of that! 5.11 Tactical has probable the most diverse product line, but we get an enormous number of complaints from them. Eotac products have been on the market for bairly more than a year and we’re still hoping for more new products. In the summer months we can really feel the need for more lightweight products. The concealed carry clothing that works the best in really hot weather are the Style 403 and Style 404 shirts which are basically as light as a t-shirt, but designed for concealing a firearm, and they allow for easy access under cover.
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.
Take a different approach to concealing a firearm this season. Sig Tac jackets are well made and designed for the gun owner that carries in the civillian world, this jacket option will help you fit in with the crowd and help carry your firearm and gear with you.
Get ready for seasonal changes and holster options. Look no further for CCW Coat options. This sturdy, yet stylish, coat has been tailored for everyday wear. 
A few years ago Woolrich Elite launched their line of tactical apparel with the help of Backyard Outfitter, but after an internal squabble Fernando Coelho split off from the company and launched his own tactical apparel line named Eotac. I noticed a few people mention that most of the Eotac apparel looks like Phase II of the Woolrich Elite line, but there have been some major innovations. We’ve seen some of the new products coming out in 2010 and there seems to be some pretty aggressive steps in the tactical apparel and concealed carry market with the new Eotac line.
The pant is made from our 8.5 ounce Bomb-Proof all-cotton canvas. It is fade resistant and features DuPont Teflon� fabric protector. This provides a breathable, durable barrier that repels both water and oil based spills.All critical seams are double-needle stitched and bar-tacked at stress points. The Action Waist has side elastic panels for freedom of movement and easily accommodates an inside the waistband holster. There is a concealed YKK brass zipper front fly along with a metal tack-button closure for strength and reliability.
