I've not heard anyone mention hockey sweaters (jerseys).  They're long enough to cover a holster, and they're normally worn not tucked in, and they're loose fitting.  Problems might be the flexibility of the material, and casualness of the style.

hockey sweaters (jerseys). 

You just got to hope no dumbass gangbangers have adopted the jersey for their set but you are right on the money about them being big enough to conceal.

I agree that hockey jerseys should be good, just not in style here. 

Here you would have to wear a football jersey.

I pocket carry a GLOCK 26. For the last few years I've been wearing these jeans at home and at work.

jeans huge front pocket (I remove the hammer loop) I took Rob Pincus' Combat Focus Shooting class in these and did very well drawing from the pocket (everyone else had a gun on the hip and only 2 used a cover garment)

They allowed jeans at work if you gave to a charity. We stopped doing this in July. So I'm looking for something other than my Dockers (which due to the pocket design I can't smoothly draw my gun). I'm looking at this pant. Watch the video.

tactical pants note all the pockets

I finally got a pair or two of the Tru-Spec 24-7 pant. They meet my need for pocket carry and allow for a smooth draw. I did however need to modify my drawstroke as the pocket does not allow a straight up pull like the jeans mentioned above. My other tac pants 5.11 and Popper do not allow a smooth enough draw (for me). I've ask the manufacture of the Tru-Spec to make the pocket opening wider but they say no thanks (currently 6.5 inches). Another nice thing about the pant is a knife pocket on each side.

These guys sell the pant a couple dollars lesss. http://www.gmstactical.com/

That is AWESOME!

Between the 3 of you there is a pretty good cross section of male body types. ;)

Please cover female ccw as well. 

I too am especially interested in 'bikini carry'
Best Wishes, Mike.

After I wore out my 511's, I tried some LA Police gear house brand trousers, covert operator I believe they call them, I actually like them better. Comfortable, look good, lots of pockets, great access and draw ability in the front pockets. the cargo pockets have an inner pocket for separate magazine storage. Price point 20 bucks.

I tried some Sig Tac pants, nice but hard to believe, the front pockets are too big, yes you can put a large pistol in there, but the opening is so big, someone can actually look into your pocket and see whats there.
