Clothing system with concealed weapons compartment

Abstract

A clothing system with a concealment pocket for concealing a weapon or other items. The concealment pocket includes internal stitching which may follow the outline of a weapon, such as a handgun. The internal stitching maintains the orientation of the handgun when placed in the concealment pocket. The concealment pocket is located on the clothing system such that when a weapon or other item is inserted in the pocket, the outline of the weapon is not visible and the pocket retains the weapon despite movements by the clothing system wearer. The concealment pocket is constructed of materials that offer high strength, resist abrasion, and reduce friction with an inserted weapon allowing for the weapon to be removed with little resistance. Padding attached to the concealment pocket provides a cushioning layer to the clothing system wearer. A cargo pocket may be located in proximity to the concealment pocket. The cargo pocket placement aids in disguising the concealment pocket and its contents. The seams of the clothing system may be positioned to allow for the placement of the concealment pocket. Additional pockets may be provided that may include internal stitching to storage of other items, including weapons. The pocket has sufficient opening width to allow for rapid placement and removal of various sizes of handguns and other equipment without stressing the fabric and has sufficient depth to retain articles placed in the pockets through the wearer's full range of motion.
