Saw this on my favorite tactical blog… figured its worth sharing… I kinda like it, if I had the money... Houston Police Officer Brian Hoffner has created a new line of clothing called American Tactical Apparel. According to a report on Houston’s KSDK - “Pants cost $150 a pair. They include 15 pockets, including one on the side that’s large enough to fit a handgun. “I have a full-size GLOCK on. If I need it now, I simply pull down this tab and I draw my GLOCK and I’m ready to defend myself,” said Brian Hoffner, founder of American Tactical Apparel. “Nothing’s pulling anywhere. It’s totally comfortable. And a full-size gun concealed. It’s a necessity. Fifteen pockets for tactical use. For rifle mags, pistol mags, phones, cameras, ammunition, whatever you may need.” www.americantacticalapparel.com

I actually like the look of the pants and shorts for the most part. I can't stand that little zipper in the front. I have a pair of regular shorts with that and hate them. And the denim color is too dark a blue. If they lightened the color, lost the zipper and brought the price down $100 I'd buy them. I can see $50 for a pair but not $150. Maybe I'm wanting them for too little but I'd buy 3-4 of each and that requires better pricing. But the design seems really wel thought out. Wish I could find them at kohls. I'd love to see a department store carry weapon-friendly clothing. After all they carry Paris Hilton and the kardasian ding-a-links, why not something I could use...
Humm I wonder what my Tailor could do with some of the pants I already own to make something like these!
I would LOVE to see gun carry apparrel in my local Big Blue or Big Red box store! But I still wouldn't pay $150 for those pants.
The 15 pocket thing sounds good at first, but... If I have a space it's likely I'll stick something in it. Have to be careful or I'd end up walking like the tin man.
