A lot has been made about outfitting with the vest, the pants, the boots, the whole image package, and I don't deny looking at these things as well, as a uniform of sorts. I would like to add some thoughts about using camouflage
but not the earthy woodies type. Neighborhood camo, a man I used to shoot with, was a professional photographer, He wore a vest everyday and at the range for our tactical S/D shoots, the vest had a big KODAK, patch on the back, like 12''x4'', and a smaller one on the front breast, matching Kodak or Cannon hat, and you looked at these things not him 1st, I do wear a uniform, the aforementioned 511 pants, but an automotive 2 pocket button up shirt with my name and company name on it, the pants are well worn, and I wear a flashlight holster, with a well worn streamlight stinger, I use it everyday and it looks like it. It does not look like a shooter/LE, armchair commando uniform.
I need to take a picture of a IWB holster I made, the innovation I had for it, above being a holster for a 5" N frame, was I glued and stitched a Levi badge, on the portion of the holster that went over the belt, so it looked like I slid my belt through that leather badge that comes on the jeans.
Point is, remove the things that draw attention, add things that take the attention somewhere else, or explain to the casual observer, "oh", that's what he or she does, and that's ok. My fanny pack is a Bianchi and it is screaming yellow and red, looks yuppie as hell, and that's the point.
