I only wanted to conceal the holster so if the bottom of the shirt ever lifted the holster would not be obvious. This way it breaks up the image and doesn’t look like a firearm holster...

might have been having a little fun with you...but I will give you props for your idea.
It's people with ideas and ingenuity that has made this country the best on the planet.
heck, I thought the internet would be a fad.

...blue denim in "new", "old", and stonewashed sure would cut down on "flashing" incidents...just a few Texans wear blue jeans daily...those might sell better than the artsy ones...till we get OC in Texas...which isn't likely...glad to see new ideas...

I figured as much

I can take a joke as much as anyone else, I just was pointing out the more practical use... instead of the novelty "Wally Walk" uniform accoutrement

Granted, the pattern I chose might be a little flashy...

Man, I'd hate to see what you call a LOT flashy!!
I will give you the benifit of the doubt abd say it was designed for ladies wearing this sweater
I do agree with the others, maybe denim or camo paterns would fit this group better in general.

Thanks. Anyone who knows me here knows that I poke fun occasionally but it's only meant in a harmless manner.
Now, back to business... Honestly, if I saw you in a store reaching up and I saw that holster peeking out, I don't think I would make a connection that it was a gun holster (and I look for that sort of thing). I would probably think it was an iPhone case or something.

I agree, im not trying to sell anyone anything... just giveing my $0.02 on some "outside the box thinking". It was an easy procedure, and can be done in less then an hour for most ppl for under $10.00 if you already have a holster...

Although a little ribbing is inevitable with something like this, the thought is clever and worth pursuing. I think it has the potential to be developed further into something quite worthwhile.

My first reaction was....
Once I got past the actual pattern (

) I quickly started to find the idea very interesting.
As others have said, using a non-traditional pattern on the holster would help people to think it was something other than a gun... Definitely an interesting idea...

Yeah, sorry, meant to mention the same thing, but failed to do so. Ideas like this, with a little ingenuity and trial and error are what leads to new products and even sometimes successful entrepreneurs. Keep thinking that way as it is really a good idea and with the right application may be something that would be very marketable.

I've just started wearing leather pants to match my holsters. Voila - crisis averted.
To the OP - great idea!

Well, to be honest it was never ment to fade into the background... just ment to not look like a gun holster...
