One of the notable features is the fabric weight – which is heavy enough to put it in the jacket category in our opining. It’s big enough to work over other shirts but can undoubtedly function as a stand-alone shirt. The Rothco Flannel is somewhere between a jacket and a shirt – maybe an overshirt? – that’s roomy enough to accommodate your piece and appropriate mags without pinching or sagging. There are very few places that a decent-looking flannel won’t take you, and anyone would be hard-pressed to make out your carry with the way the flannel is cut. A true anywhere carry option.Ī while not waterproof or windproof, what you give up in weather protection, you gain in usability.
With two interior mag pouches & an oversize concealed carry pocket, the Rothco Concealed Carry Flannel offers a list of features that make it a more versatile option than many of the jackets we tested. The cotton exterior is more prone to snags than polyester shells, but it seems perfectly capable of brushing against bushes and undergrowth if hiking without noticeable wear. There are some issues with the inner pocket stitching, which seems light and has been the subject of some online complaints, even if they offer soft, if thin, construction. These holster pockets are sealed with a velcro hook & loop closure, and there are also four inner pockets designed for additional clip storage, which measure 6″ x2 ½” and have a velcro closure.
The inner holsters are on both the left and right sides of the jacket and are surprisingly big and deep, measuring 8″ x10″ with substantial padding. A near-perfect around town CCW jacketįor those who live in parts of the world that don’t require full-on puffy winter jackets (or hardcore rain gear), this jacket is perfect for running around town in any scenario when you need extra warmth, rather than waterproofing and want concealment pockets without looking super tactical. Our testers found Rothco’s Concealed Carry 3 Season Jacket, available up to XXX-Large, offered competitive warmth and comfort to other lightweight concealed carry coats that cost considerably more - and it’s warmer than many leather options. With this jacket’s effective triple-layer structure, our testers found that even when carrying a full-sized handgun while hiking up the Columbia Gorge, they didn’t need to add a heavier jacket to ward off the cold or remove the coat due to overheating. The substantial amount of fleece also lends wind resistance to the jacket, something our testers appreciated when running around town and getting caught in a downpour with 25 mph winds & hail. Our testers commented on the extra versatility of this jacket, such as the easy access interior concealment pocket, 4 “x4” velcro morale patch, wire pass-through port, and double zipper back pocket, which offers bigtime storage. That triple-layer structure means a significant increase in warmth & water-repelling capabilities compared with similarly priced jackets, but without sacrificing the lightweight jacket feel and mobility. It has a triple-layered construction with dedicated layers for deflecting wind and water, wicking moisture, and an internal fleece layer for retaining heat. Weighing in at an overall weight of just over 32 ounces (or about 2 lbs), Rothco’s Special Ops Soft Shell Jacket (available up to 6XL) is an incredible value when you consider overall functionality & cost.
