Tactical pants and your wallet
The Eotac Style 202 pants are basically an improved pocket design over the Woolrich Elite 4429 pants. The Eotac 203 are similiar to Woolrich Elite 4441 and the Eotac 201 are similiar to the Woolrich Elite 4447 styles. Each may look the same at first look, but try stuffing the pockets with various items and you’ll quickly notice the design differences. The ID pocket on the Eotac pants have a pull tab that make it easy to open the pocket and I have absolutely zero problems using my gear with this design. The side cargo pockets are bellowed and although not as wide as BDU pants, you will be able to use these for mag dumps much easier.
The title may sound like we’re going to talk about the expense of various tactical pants, but this post is actually going to be about retrieving your wallet from your tactical pants. When I first got into wearing tactical pants, I started out wearing the 5.11 stuff most people are introduced to. I tended to feel like my wallet didn’t fit right in the rear pockets becaused they floated around too much. The next line of tactical pants I wore were the Woolrich Elite 4429 style and although they are very well made and the quality is there, I really thought the velcro ID pocket was a pain to use for a wallet. I carry a few credit cards, but I have a lot of business cards and other type of ID that I carry and my wallet is probable thicker than 3/4 of operators. After I found out about Eotac pants, and the fact that the original designers of the Woolrich Elite series clothing are the present designers of the Eotac apparel, I gave them a try.
For most of the United States, we are moving towards warm weather. It’s time for us to think about our summer CCW and for those of us that were tactical apparel for work, time to switch to lightweight tactical pants. The military learned this the hard way in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. Wearing the wrong type of clothing in certain environments can mean freezing to death or unneccessary sweating. We don’t recommend wearing shorts in the winter for obvious reasons, but sometimes we still need to wear pants even though it’s pretty darn hot out.

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.
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.
The Style 403 has a single pocket on the upper left of the shirt that can hold sunglasses or lightweight gear. See our sizing guide for your check and waste measurements. These shirts tend to run a little longer to help conceal gear at the belt line. Both the 403 and 4 pocket 404 shirt are available in Black, Natural, Light blue, Red and yellow. I would recommend trying atleast 3 colors to add to your wardrobe. With a shirt as lightweight like this, I wouldn’t hesitate to try the black shirts for summer carry.
Well, one thing to think about when settling on an apparel line is this, how many of your tactical apparel companies are offering a Warranty like this: “EOTAC’s products are of superior quality and come with a full warranty to the original owner.
