    Garters were once a part of men's wear. They were more often worn on the arms, IIRC, on the outside of shirts.

    Ah. It might still be the material though. Not as breathable. Awesome kilt though.

    The black is the one currently in use. The tan will go into service when I wear out the black.

    I don't carry I stopped after having to carry an M-16 for many miles, nor do I use fanny packs, purses, pouches or back packs also known as ruck sacks because again, the army....I don't even make my bed or wear underwear, because of the army, nor do I drink coffee, ditto..I can still use my hands as a lethal weapon and they are easier to carry...

    My wallet's never bothered me there, possibly because it's never been weighted down with money....

    Depending on what I wear and where I'm going - Inside the waist, ankle or pocket. The gun is small - Ruger .380 LCP

    Men have hacked the handbag secrets with cargo shorts. All them extra pockets come in handy once in a blue moon.

    I have a Vietnam era military fliers helmet bag. It works great as a field bag. I sewed large steel chrome rings (pilfered from a discarded purse, in fact) on either side, I sewed those to the bag with bits of nylon webbing, hand stiched with braided fishing line. For the shoulder strap, I used an old laptop bag, nylon strap.

    Sometimes use it for a saddle bag on my recumbent cycle. I can tote objects as large as an 18 pack of beer.

    this is a good question. I carry IWB, but I do have a fanny pack that I wear when walking the dogs. That’s the only place I wear it, but if guys wanted to wear something like that I don’t see an issue.
    Wait, I do have an issue with that pos ruger lc9 in the pic. What a terrible gun.

    Pictures of carry handbags then they should do it. I normally don't because I don't normally tote around that much junk. And since I'm a guy if I have to I'll get an old used grocery bag. Maybe one of those little giveaway bags from the AWS meeting.

    Let's put it this way I've never thought about whether it matched my belt or shoes.

    Interesting thought I had when a friend of mine was embarrassed about her pink gun.

    I said don't be just put it in your purse and if anybody happens to catch a glimpse of the handle or a bit of it they won't automatically think gun because in their minds guns are black or silver if yours is pink well it could be anything probably not a gun.

    I think it's awesome that there's all this different stuff for everyone.
