Honestly, that price doesn't look half bad considering.

 

Yeah, I was looking at some the 5.11 stuff and its around $100 more for something similar...but I honestly like being able to tighten the waist of my comparable jackets.

 

In the grand scheme of things, is $50 enough of a difference from buying what will make you happy in the long run? Go for it dude!

I have one and really like it. Great wind breaker and pretty warm when layered. It tends to run a little small in my experience.

 

I'd vote for either of these...

Blends well and doesn't stand out...

Those are actually nice! and I am not a fan of carhartt
I wonder if they have that denwood jacket at Dicks or Gander

 

@Corysxj88 ,

Same jacket, just without the concealment feature and logos, I think.

And $98.

 

And in the suggested related items at the bottom there's the one with the concealed pocket just no hood for $89

 

Condor makes one like that for half that price. I have it and like it a lot.

 

Just out of curiosity, what all would you put in those extra pockets? Mags? Would it be an everyday jacket, or just certain times?

 

I would use it to hold my phone, flashlight, pen, extra knife, keys, gum...stuff like that.

I hate having a jacket with only 2 pockets and everything getting crammed.

 

Makes sense.

 

Just FYI the Condor jacket is offered in two different versions. The offer one that is fleece lined and one not.

good news about carharrt is they make stuff to fit my big ass. Ill check out the condor also. Id like to have one that style

 

I had one of the condors and they aren't made for tall people. I'm 6'6" and it wasn't nearly long enough on my torso or gorilla arms. Sold it to my buddy and he likes it. The few times I wore it it felt nice and seemed relatively tough and well made.

 

They aren't made for slightly chubby people either. I am 6 foot, 220 and the Medium fits in the arms and length, but is a bit tight when zipped up. That said, excellent quality and materials....especially for a Chinese copy of a $500 TAD soft shell.

 

I found this deal today at cabelas thought it was to good to pass on. While not necessarily tacticool it seemed like a cheap alternative.

Atlas firearms has Rothco jackets like pictures for $90 or so.

 

this should fit the bill

 

Now all you need is a pack of lucky strikes.

 

I remember asking my parents for Megaman for Christmas...I got MagMax...

 

I remember asking for a nintendo and getting pong.

 

Pong you know the ball and paddles.

 

mine was called outside, i didnt get a game system until i saved up my paper route money and bought it myself

 

I went outside once...graphics sucked

 

Hey, my father-in-law still wears a member's only jacket (or a facimily of (SP))

 

At least your mom didn't have a clapped out sewing machine and consider herself a seamstress who could "make one just as good" like my mom!

Kmart was too highbrow for my mom! She was horribly cheap, couldn't sew for sh&t, and was the worst cook in history. The only thing that outweighed her failures, was her sensitivity to you bringing them to her attention......
No wonder dad bailed out early.

Oh my mom was the churches official "seamstress" she made all the proportionately challenged girls their prom dresses. As sweet as this was and my mother was loved by people near and far. The flood of plain large dresses year after year was a little odd. I really miss my mom more than just about anything, but I never enjoyed all the homemade goodies. I will say that Halloween was cool cause she could do crazy stuff.

 

In case the OP didn't grab a jacket yet here's a source/deal.

Full disclosure. The owner of that site is a buddy I grew up with and a Marine. He just escaped NY and moved the company down to Siler City. At roughly 1/2 the price of the orignial post it seems like a no brainer.

Here's more. Even less $$. Looks like he has several choices at decent prices.

 

try www.sportsmansguide.com they have some pretty cool stuff, and you can get like foreign jackets and all.

 

I don't recommend any of those tactical looking jackets for edc, If you need a jacket with more pockets many stores have jackets that have a lot of pockets from regular department stores. I picked up a good one the mall and it has 4 pockets on the outside and 2 pockets inside. More importantly it keeps me warm in inclement weather and doesn't make me look like I've got a gun. You wanna blend in not stand out. I seen a guy yesterday at the state fair wearing a Arc'teryx Cap and jacket with a molle pack walking around with 2 german shepherds. This is not the look you want if your trying to blend in.

 

While I am generally the one supporting the "grey man" look, I do think that it may be pushing it a bit here. Before I got into shooting I worked with a guy who wore an Arc'teryx jacket and I never once questioned whether he had a gun or not. I just thought it was some fancy brand id never heard of.

On top of that, if you are using the jacket for carrying a firearm and spare magazines I feel that using a tool designed for the job trumps going with a jacket that isn't designed for the task. After all, the #1 priority when carrying a firearm is making sure it is secure. That's why we spend so much money on quality holsters.

Also, some of the recommendations are for Carhart brand jackets. Most people who see Carhart aren't going to think "gun", they will think "this guy could probably drive a tractor.

If you have a brand of jacket you could link here that provides the same level of utility AND can secure the firearm as well as those designed to do so please do.

 

Price tag runs up to $200, but I've had a fleece jacket from these guys for 6+ years now and it's still my every day jacket: www.scottevest.com/

Been around the world a few times and is holding up. I thought it was expensive at the time, but it's more that made up for that price with the quality and the fact I've not had to replace it.

 

I am looking for a jacket that is fashionable. I still like to try and look good while walking out of the house... So I try to find Jackets that I think look cool, look good on me, and provide an easy way for me to conceal.
I have a Matix jacket now that I have had for 4-5 years and I absolutely love it. It keeps me warm, looks good, and allows me to conceal a larger weapon. but I need a jacket that is not so heavy.... I looked around REI and they have a couple that are really nice...but some of these jackets are $300+
