Winter CCW Shirt Options
There have been several occasions at this time of year where I’ve walked out of the house and into the freezing cold Winter temperatures and had on a sweatshirt and jacket. By the time the car warmed up and I was on my way, I had to turn the car temperature all the way back down because it got too warm. When I got to the mall to start my Christmas shopping, I was so darn hot that I was stopping to buy a drink and feel very uncomfortable. This is one of the biggest problems the whole concealed carry jacket market seems to forget.
If you’ve dressed with a holster that is outside the waiste and you were intending to have the gun covered by the jacket, you’ll have problems. The best advice I would have is to wear a base layer like Under armour and a heavy shirt like the Woolrich Elite CCW shirts like the Oxford long sleeve. This shirt is a long sleeve shirt that gives you an out layer to wear over a firearm and still carry flashlights, knives ect in the front pockets. There is a hidden pocket behind the front pocket that is very easy to access. If you pocket carry a j-frame, this is a great place to store a reload or pepper spray.
