I've had a few pair off and on in the past, but I just kind of used them here and there as a utility item. I recently bought another pair and have concluded that they're the best clothing outfit going for us men over the age 60 mark, so I ordered 2 more pair today.
In addition to being loose and comfortable, they have more places to tuck a pistol than you can shake a stick at.
I drop my 380 in the bib pocket for casual occasions, and sittin' here thinking, it wouldn't take much of a rig to tuck about any kind of handgun you care to mention behind the bib. I'm thinkin' I might have to work something up,...kind of a crossdraw rig that would allow me to just reach inside the bib and have it right there at hand.
The only downside is, they can be a bit hot, but I've been wearing them with some funky old nylon Hawaiian shirts that helps to keep everything breezy and also classes the ensemble up a bit. Of course, you can stick a T shirt on with them or a lightweight polo type shirt too.
I think you need to get you some of these if you do a lot of concealed carry.
I've been kicking around in these for a couple of weeks, and I've pretty much concluded that this is my uniform from here on out.
They're comfortable,...they're kind of classy in an old man kind of way if you wear the right shirt and shoes with them,..and they'll conceal a handgun like nothing else.

By the way, the Liberty brand run long as hell, so if you get some mail order, you need to back off on your typical inseam length about 2".

I never realized they could be worn with a shirt...or with more than one side hooked. No wonder you think they can be a bit hot.

Some of us NEED that extra 2" in the crotch

I just dropped a heavy barrel 4" Model 10 down behind the bib and it doesn't hardly print at all,....'hit just slides down in the crotch area and makes me look like I'm hung like a Buffalo.
I need to unload the damn thing while I'm fuggin' around here, though,...I'm liable to shoot my left nut off.

The internet is black text on a white background.

That's classed up, Kaywoodie!

I have a couple pair of camo overalls that I hunt in. I wore them in CO on an elk hunt. The freedom of movement when climbing and going over blow downs was miles ahead of any of the other pants that I had with me.
My compadres didn't think much of them, but I like comfort.

I have a pair of black WALLS insulated bibs that a guy brought to a gun club meeting complaining about the way they fit. He gave them to me free! whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
