- Sawyer, Miles, and Aaron go over some of their clothing preferences when it comes to concealed carry. There are a lot of great options these days, you'll just need to find what things work best for you and your lifestyle. Pants with some stretch help a ton, especially if you pair it with a good belt.

Walmart carry’s a wrangler stretch fit pant that’s like an outdoor/hiking pant and they’re super comfortable. Have a bunch of pockets as well and don’t look as tactical as 5.11 also $30 per pair instead of the 80+ for 5.11. They’re called wrangler flex waist outdoor cargo and they have od green, grey, kangaroo and a few others
those sound like an awesome option! thanks!
I have a bunch of those exact pairs! They’re great quality and very comfortable compared to the 5.11 pants which I have one pair of and when I wear those the metal button on the hip digs into my side and it’s very uncomfortable
Just spent 300$ on every color! Love it best pair yet
And and the shorts.
I'm with you on the wrangler pants/shorts. My jeans are stretch waist as well.
Best thing i like about these guys is how down to earth they are. Keep it professional, add a little goofiness. Still deliver the best advices for conceal carry in general. Great Video Tier One. Also love the Axis holster.
Thanks so much, man, we appreciate that!
Something that has been helpful for me when a wearing belt with a buckle is to have the buckle offset by one section to the left or right. It keeps the buckle from rubbing up on the holster and reduces some of the pressure. Also, ratchet-style belts are great for getting precise with tightness (or give yourself some post-meal breathing room) instead of fiddling with the holes.
This is the way my brother
Love my Kore belt and axis elite rig, been running it for about a 1-1/2 now. Thanks for the clothing tutorial.
Just got turned onto Howitzer Jean's and love them so far. I'll have to look into these as well. Can't wait for you guys to come out with my configuration of holster so I can try one out! Shield Plus TLR6 and a optic axis elite please! 😉
I run the axis elite with a kore essentials belt, best damn set up ever! It’s on me everyday!
You will always know that there’s a piece of metal there but once you. Get the ride height and cant right it’s the best set up for AIWB. Keep up the great videos tips and tricks like this help not only me but tons of others looking to conceal and the more we all can spread the word the better we all can be!
Thanks so much, man, we appreciate the support!
"Clothing Tips & Tricks", Step 1: don't have a beer belly lol
Good tip
Well shit..
Less beer, more crunches = better concealment.
Damn... I'm out. Lol
My problem 😂
Excellent information fellas. Thanks for making the point that what works for one doesn't work for everyone.
Our pleasure!
Have been looking for a video on this. Thank you for the great vids and products
You bet!
Great advice guys💯 I love the brand, thank you for putting out good quality stuff !
Thanks for watching!
Got my first axis elite set up. It’s best holster I’ve ever worn. Very light. Looks smaller in person than I expected, but it’s perfect. Thanks guys
Awesome, thanks so much!!
THE COMPETITION "ISN'T CLOSE "
I have the Axis Elite but me with a smaller frame 5’8” 165 lbs 30 waist have find it wide with the side car style holster even with the mag carrier attached with paracord it doesn’t allow for movement independently. So I’ve gone to using the Tier 1 Xiphos with a separate mag carrier with adjustable retention I got off Amazon. Instead of the plastic wide clip that doesn’t allow to adjust ride height and tends to cant out. I have a tuckable Ulticlip which allows for height adjustment. Plus since the Ulticlip clips on the belt it doesn’t move side to side on a Kore essentials belt or a Blue Alpha edc belt. I have it setup for deep carry with my 19x Glock mag. Separately they move independently which has been way more comfortable.
@@weduhpeople8504 I thought ulticlip was supposed to clip to the pants instead of the belt?
@@KP-Pro2A I believe you can clip it on both pants and belt
Fellow bad back brother here, thanks for the info about Constantine Concealed Carry Belt. Hopefully will be a game changer because I can’t use a normal ridged belt that puts too much pressure on my spine. Positive vibes and negative pains
Thanks for the recommendations. I love my Axis Elite I always wondered what pants/flannels you guys were wearing in your vids. Just bought the Delta shorts and Dadeland shirt from Vertx for the coming warmer months!
Awesome!! Thanks for the support, man!
Loving the EDC S Belt! It’s a game changer. And it works even better when you don’t wear it backwards & upside down,………….which I did,……..for an entire week,……..and I still loved it,…….so there!
I carry my CZ P01 in an Agis holster, with a Blue Alpha Gear belt. I went two sizes up on my pants. For the shirt it’s either an XL T-shirt, or a casual button down untucked of course. It took a little while to get my wardrobe together, but once I nailed it I could hide a full sized gun no problem if I wanted to.
I love this group of dudes, seriously a great company!
Thanks so much
I have to say you guys not only advertising for your own products but also for others people products like hunters belt speaks volumes about who you guys are and what you represent it is awsome from this vetran who literally just ordered his very first but not last holster from you a couple minutes ago Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thanks so much, we greatly appreciate you!!
The Hunter Constantine belt is 🔥🔥
So easy to carry with sweats and gym shorts as well.
It's a solid option for sure!
This was a really good video and very helpful. Thank you for making it!
Glad it was helpful!
I lost it at, "mold around." LOL! Absolutely love my holster! Great stuff, brother!
hahaha! Thanks man!
You guys rock. Always entertaining no matter the topic.
Thanks man!!
Stretchy Walmart pants and a button snap outdoor shirt is a good option. The flap in the back is nice to keep you cool in hotter climates too. Ballin' on a budget!
Underrated combo right there!
Great video, gentlemen. So far, I'm loving both your Agis and V2 holster. Especially paird with neomags Alias holster/belt clips. 😎🤘🇺🇲. Keep up the AWESOME work you guys
Thanks so much!!
@@Tier1Concealed 💪🇺🇲. AMERICA 🇺🇲 💪
Spinal…… lol love ya Miles. I’ve been using the Megingjörð from vdev group for the past year. It has the same concept, with a thick double section of material just where you would clip your holster, but very minimal belt material around your back. The stretch back on yours looks promising.
Thanks for keeping my range gear form getting dusty! Keep up the great content
Thanks man, we appreciate it!
PRSM jeans are the GOAT for people like myself who carry a bunch of stuff in their pockets. They carry a higher price tag, but are made in the USA and Ryan is a good guy who pioneered the hip pockets that a lot of brand are incorporating into their own designs now. For a cheaper option, I think it's hard to beat Off the Grid Surplus jeans. I like their shorts too.
We've never tried those yet, they look sweet!
I wear your shirts and 5.11 jeans or tactical pants. The 5.11 pants have extra pockets that I love for flashlights, knife, and mags. I went up one size in T-shirts (M to LG) when I started carrying that helps conceal more. I wear my normal pant size 30 and use a ratcheting tactical belt. For dresser occasions I wear at the 4 o’clock position and tuck in a dress shirt.
I have vertx pants but I wear the 5.11 pants more because they fit me better.
Thats an excellent combo for sure!
Yo! You guys do listen to requests! TY! I can’t wait for my holster to come in!
You bet, man! Thanks for the support!
Man you gonna love it ! Got 2 few months ago for Glock 19 and m&p shield 9.
@@andygarcia546 now I’m really excited! Lol. I ordered one for my Glock 19 as well in OD Green 🔥🔥

Holster: T1C/WPS Axis Elite

If I don’t feeling like carrying IWB then I run the Vertx Commuter Sling. Great video as always, fellas. Thank you!
Nice, all very solid choices!!
Only reason why I don’t wear anything that is branded of conceal culture is because it screams “I’m carrying” but I like the material and shirt structures. Good for my gym and sleep 😴 attire
Exactly!
Nobody’s looking at what you’re wearing that closely bud 😂
@@goofya6633nah ngl they do
Great review of holsters and belts from beginners to experienced.
Glad you like them!
I carry with my groove belts and actually really enjoy it. Great all around belt
Thank you for this video... We need more appendix carry videos. Love this page!!!
Thanks so much, we appreciate you!
Form an organization of testicle carriers and have a contest to choose the name of it
Your social media guy is killing it! Give that man a raise 🙌
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Great presentation gentlemen. I am in my 70's now and still carrying concealed. Wish I would have been told earlier what you just shared in your video. Maybe I wouldn't have bought so many Hawaiian shirts .. naw, I like 'em! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
This is the vid I've been waiting for. Maybe V.2 could show a tucked-in scenario for church or wedding or . . . using the ulti clips. Thanks for another good one.
Awesome! Thats a good topic to cover! We did a video a while back where we touched on "tucked in shirts", its a little ways down on our page!
I’ve recently purchase a pair of the LT Delta pants from vertx to my size and notice their not that loosely as the original delta. I need to go a size up for the next pair.
Another comment dedicated to the HC Belt. I too have back issues and this belt has been awesome!!!
Which belt is that? I'm looking for it.
@@nahtay72 We will be offering it on our website soon!
I appendix carry a XDM Elite 4.5 OSP. A good belt and not very tight fitting close is definitely a must. It really isn't that hard to carry and it is definitely nice having 16rds of 10mm on tap lol. Wish Tier 1 would make an Axis Elite holster for it that doesn't require a light add on.
Nothing screams "I'm carrying" like wearing tactical clothing, so I avoid that stuff. No reason you can't have your own style while carrying either. In the fall/winter I typically wear stretch jeans from Rock Revival, BKE, and Salvage as my main go-to. They've made high quality stretch denim for over 15 years and they're made to last a lifetime. I'll pair them with a Kore Essentials belt and a button up shirt (usually patterned plaid). This allows me to still conceal a duty-size 2011 and a spare mag on a NeoMag in my pocket this way.
For my summer carry I'll wear any shorts with belt loops, Kore Essentials belts, and varying loose-fitting t-shirts. What you carry is just as important, and my SA Hellcat nets me a lot of flexibility. HTH
If you need a good inexpensive belt I recommend the Dickies' Industrial belt. I appendix carry a Glock 17 with a Bravo Concealment holster and extra mag w/ mag holster and it works well without complaints.
$15 at Walmart.
Definitely size up. Like they said, don't let your ego get to you 😂. Plus, size up clothing is more comfortable as well. I recently just got the axis elite, and pairing it with the kore essentials belt has been the best decision I've ever made. I will definitely be purchasing more from yall!
Awesome, dude! Thanks so much!
Bought the same setup. Axis Elite with Kore Essentials. Mine is a month away though! Super excited!!
I wear tailored suits for work. Been thinking about oversizing the chest on my suit jackets and wearing a shoulder holster.
Great video! I've found that 100% cotton shirts conceal better than shirts with polyester or other blends. Obviously darker colored shirts conceal better.
Good point! Dark colors can help a ton!
My best advice is you need "stretch" or "spandex" in the fabric list for most flannels or tops like that. Sawyer is 100% correct about the flannels getting caught up on your butt. I've carried almost every day for two years now and I've had to modify my wardrobe significantly to make it work. My flannels, vests and jackets, had no give / stretch in them, so it really hurts the draw. I take a lot of firearms classes and you find out real quick what works and what doesn't when you're in a good class.
Exactly, we totally agree!
You should upload some vids of your tips you’ve learned through the years. We’re here for it!
I’m pretty new to carrying. I’m having the most trouble with wind. When it’s coming straight at me my shirt prints a perfect outline of my appendix rig. I’ve tried wearing larger shirts and thicker shirts. But it still happens. I find myself walking and looking down at my stomach most of the time in public constantly trying to combat myself printing.
Looking for that back problem belt. I normally run some random cowhide easy off 5.11 belt that’s stretchy, I’ll have to try that one.
Idk where to find that belt I’m looking for one also with my messed up back!
Zach: Fit 10/10. Nothing's too baggy. Pumas (?) Are also a good call. Gum sole, good traction, classic streetwear brand.
Aaron: +1 dress for the body you have! Also nailed the fit (especially the length) on the pants.
Player 3: (sorry, I didn't catch your name) Thank you for calling out the risk of shirts being too long & hanging up under your butt. I see that happen to a lot of guys that carry in dress clothes for the first time.
There's a few other hacks for button-up shirts as well.
Cuts & sizing are *critical* to factor in.
Thanks man!
Vertx pants are the best! Love mine!
They're so good
The glock 34 Oz9 is very similar to what I'm carrying except mine is the kc eusebio edition. Should I order a holster for the glock 34 or order the holster for a zev oz9?
Hey how do you guys not print in the wind? I live in a hot windy place and when the wind hits me straight on it causes my shirt to make a perfect outline of my appendix carry weapon. I’ve tried wearing two shirts and that helps a little. Thicker shirts tend to help out but i can’t seem to help printing outside in the wind. I can’t wear a hoodie most of the year. So that’s not an option. I don’t think there’s much I can do but I’m still reaching out and seeing if you guys have a trick.
Lees extreme motion athletic cut jeans are amazing for CCW.
Nike dry fit. Is a well made tshirt (kohls has them) it took around 3 to 4 months to start showing holes in mine. I also carry cancelled for a living, so the holes go quick. American eagle. Also Carhartt is a goid pant. If you're ruff on the pants. Summer time i cut the pants (IMO)
I live in Georgia. It’s 90 + degrees in summer. Do a video on HOT CLIMATES clothing.
Thats a great idea! The humidity is brutal for IWB stuff
What about using a tucked in T-shirt under the weapon? And then the flannel shirt over the weapon. I'm looking for the undershirt because it kind of hurts a little bit. When it's put in to my skin, does that kind of work?
Great topic! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!
OTTE Gear Capital pants a Kore belt and hoodie or tee is the way to go especially if you work in an office.
AARon, what brand of TShirt are you wearing under your button down? I’ve found that compressions T Shirts, sleeveless, work to keep the gun dry, and the compression helps keep the T shirts very well against the body, which helps when clearing the outer garment.
Great tips! Could you please make one for ppl who lives in the south? I wear T-shirt/shorts 10 months a year. A flanel or multiple layer of clothing is not an option.
I wear a lot of flannel patterns on my shirts and my edc belt is my Kore essentials
Flannels are great!
I may not use your holsters, but I do use the foam wedges (once those suckers are on, they are ON) and a Kore belt.
These are some great tips that will help some people who are starting out on their journey. Keep up the awesome content.
We appreciate the support!! Thank you!
Awesome, great content once again. Definitely appreciate the topic. I have been a experimenting with clothing myself. It’s been a bit of a grind and slightly costly to finding something I am happy with. Like you show here it’s not just about printing or concealment. It’s also about being able to do things comfortably as well. The day to day stuff and being able to draw easily. Stretchy pants has made a huge difference for me. Anyways you all highlighted all of the things to consider. Something I didn’t do when I first started carrying. Thanks again! I look forward in trying out some of the brands you mentioned.
Thanks for support! Stay strapped!
Ive noticed with many channels that talk and coach concealed carry, specifically with tshirt only, majority if not all are wearing a black tshirt. A black tshirt works best to further conceal any abnormalities with a possible print hence it being black and darker in color. I’d love to see you guys talk on and wear lighter colored tshirts and even a white tshirt and give some pointers on those. I’m sure many of us carriers wear different colored shirts and not only black so I think it’d help us all. Could you all consider speaking on that topic if you haven’t already?
And not to take away from your entire video. Freakin awesome presentation and insight as always. Stretchy pants for the win all day everyday.
We appreciate the input and support!! I'm sure we will revisit this topic sooner or later and we'll make sure to bring that up.
I got hunter constantine belt and love it .
How you grab your shirt in this video is one way-
I use my thumb to slide up on my shirt. My thumb becomes a hook under my shirt and slides up. This technique ensures I have my clothes to grab my EDC.
The starting position is your side jeans pocket. I hope I have explained it well
Yep, makes sense! We have messed around with that method a few times. You gotta do whatever works best for you!
Personally i find the true classic t shirts and the Goodfellow shirts from target to be perfect for for concealed carry during the warmer months, the fit perfectly snug in the chest and arm's, but are loose in the stomach area. Just don't machine dry them or they'll shrink. 😊
Stretch jeans have been the biggest improvement for me. It doesn’t have to be a tactical brand like Vertx. I have some American Eagle jeans that are crazy good too
Duluth Trading flex ballroom jeans 😎
Good point!! Totally agree.
@@Tier1Concealed Arrowhead Tactical is also a great option!
I've been using the VertX pants for a while until I discovered the LAPG jeans. Way more stretchy, half the price, and are almost identical designs.
Nice! Haven't heard of those yet
@@Tier1Concealed there's a coupon right now. STPADDY15. Just bought two more pairs, shipped it was $63.
"Sick self burn..." lmao! that was great, but I also share you pain (worse in my case). Thanks gents! Very helpful.
Definitely a good belt like KoreEssentials. As for a piece of clothing I have to have, it’s a sleeveless compression type undershirt/rash guard like an Under Armour or one I recently found, Otte Gear. In Florida it gets hot so for me an undershirt is a must because of sweat. Plus it!s compression and fits tight, but comfortable. And unlike a regular cotton undershirt, it eliminates the chance of grabbing your undershirt accidentally when clearing your cover garment.
I've heard good things about that Otte Gear shirt! Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Thanks for the tip!
@@Tier1Concealed You’re welcome! They’re not very expensive but the quality is really good. Works great for me.
just started wearing compression fit sleeveless under shirts as well. Huge difference over reg cotton u/shirt.
Thanks for the video👍😉
You're welcome!
Are you guys planning on making holsters for the new Canik MC9? Picking one up, and you guys are my go to for holsters. Seriously, all my carry holsters are Tier 1. I wish I could quit you. Hopefully, you guys get the MC9 on your roster.
I'm not positive yet, but hopefully we can add it in the future!!
So dam hot and humid in SW Florida options are limited. Always in shorts and Tees
I also have low back issues. Is the Hunter Constantine belt avalable? If not, how can I preorder or get on a notification list? Also, some of the shirts I have bought specificly for concealed carry bind on my rear as I try to clear them. Is that just because the shirt tails are too long or are there other factors to watch out for? Great video. Thanks.
I have the same issue with my shirt catching on my rear. I have a short torso and long limbs so a shirt that fits my arms and chest size usually looks a little like I'm wearing a dress. I have to have all of my shirts shortened about 3 to 4 inches so that they don't grab my rear during a draw. Fortunately, my wife can do this for me but if I were single, I'd just have to suck it up and pay a tailor.
A couple tips
1. wear a undershirt always even with just a t-shirt. Usually a under armor heat gear. If you tuk your under shirt into your underwear it will stay down.
2. One size larger t-shirt while carrying full sized guns = a p10 F with 21 plus one. Use my regular size when wearing compact or sub compact. Also if you wear a button up with a dark color or pattern with a good holster you can conceal a large handgun much easier w
3. Vertex pants all day used them for years. I do use one size larger pants because It’s more comfortable with a IWB while concealing a large firearm.
4. Most important get a good belt and holster set up. I use the tier 1 xiphos holster and the inside the waistband extended mag carrier. That way the pistol holster and the mag carrier are separated. Makes for more comfortable carrying. Modern Samurai subscribes to carrying in this manner.
Working out helps. Also long torsos body shaped people have a leg up. And lastly good posture also helps.
Great tips! Thanks!
Great stuff, but like everything else that has to do with conceal carry, it all comes down to feel and preference.
For example I can’t carry appendix because my stomach will push the barrel in between my legs. If I have an accidental discharge I will shot myself in the spine if I was to carry appendix.
So I keep my Glock17 with a red dot and light at 3-4 o’clock.
The day I forget my stomach somewhere, I would love to try your stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yep, totally agree! We are all different and just have to do what works best for us.
when running ultraclips as a daily, is a gun belt still necessary bc i hear using them with a belt will wear them down. Im asking bc i dont always wear jeans. ive looked into other options like sweats with a belt in the inner and the atlas system but as far as ultraclips go i notice with sweats or looser clothing, getting a consistent draw is hard bc the holster will move up with the firearm as youre drawing.
Yeah, especially if you have a heavier or bigger gun, you'll probably need the support of a belt. It just depends on the setup and everything.
Good info, what about sitting? Any tips there do you make adjustments ect. I do a lot driving in out when I use holster like yours not so comfortable then. I also put belt under edc but then getting out and fixing it a bit of pain.
Yeah! Check out our video on how to appendix carry comfortably! ua-cam.com/video/tgZkkcNSBOU/v-deo.html
Does anyone know where I can buy an affordable zip-up hood with multiple colors and are made for concealed carry?
I got a little extra in the mid section. It does help. 🇺🇸
Its a subtle bonus haha
Pearl snaps baby 🤘🏽I wish they’d make button ups a lil more shorter on the Tails
Snaps are awesome!
Ive always wondered if any of you guys on the Tier team put wedges on your holsters? I tend to find it conceals even more as it pushes the top of the gun into you more, but it does seem more uncomfortable to wear, I feel like I print more without a wedge.
Yeah, some of us do!
U should show best way to wear your kore belts while carrying, whenever I move it over to make room end of buckle just jams into me
Most of us slide the buckle just to the left of the holster, typically
Any possibility of posting an overview video of the Constantine belt if it is going to go live on the website? Been looking into it but there aren’t any real videos on it anywhere.
Absolutely, we will be getting a lot more content on that one!
The ceiling of that range, oh my
What's up guys! Love this video! Question do you guys use wedges as well?
Some of us do!
what material of clothing works best for conceal carry and also what shirts you recommend for 4 oclock carry instead of appendix?
You can make all sorts of different clothing work with a good holster and good belt. Just make sure nothing is too tight, its really hard to conceal anything with tight clothing.
I use Untuckit brand standard cut (non taper) and they work great for AIWB
@@jtb-southphilly I agree. Wait for a sale and coupon code. I would go with 511 and others, but their colors and patterns look terrible.
In addition to shirts with snaps, you can get shirts with magnetic "buttons".
Stretchy is life!!!!!
So true!!
I'm a 36 waist. With Vertx's pants I can usually buy my size and still carry IWB comfortably. Kuhl, on the other hand, I have to wear a size bigger because their pants fit pretty snug and don't allow much room for IWB.
Great info, thanks!
Please make an axis elite mold for the canik mc9!!
Hopefully we can add that one in the future!
Concealed carry pistols/ holsters and nice fitted clothing/ high end belt is a battle
Wish yall did things for IWI really hard to find good holsters for them
Hopefully we will in the future!
Thank you!
You bet!
Some interesting tips worth considering for my work as a bodyguard...but guys.. having a waist far narrower than the chest is definitely better for concealment 😉
Haha yeah it typically doesn't hurt!
Would you say the delta pants are a skinny fit or slim fit? And do they fit the bee boots well?
They're not a skinny fit, but they're definitely more "fitted" than just a normal straight leg boot cut type pant.
Seen a guy with 2a shirt and hat out shopping. It was screaming “I’m carrying”. I looked to see how he was carrying and it was printing at 5 o’clock. Note, this was in ca lol
Haha, yeah you don't want to be giving yourself away like that. Not all of our shirts are "obvious" gun shirts, especially to the oblivious majority of people glued to their phones haha.
I think subtle 2a or gun brand shirts and hats are just fine (depending on where you live) The vast majority of folks won't notice. We notice, because we are looking.
Miles what belt are you wearing ...pls link ? looks like super problem resolve for me . I appendix and have some extra weight every time i sit i need to lose couple click from my ratchet belt to make room for belly
Its out EDC-S belt! We are currently out of stock but we have a ton on order! They should be available again soon.
