I had almost given up trying to carry IWB owing to the fact that I couldn't seem to find a comfortable holster. Then I bought an MTAC and my opinion changed 180 degrees - talk about comfort so IWB was now an option. I had a reasonable amount of practice this summer with some shorts that had a generous waistband
As Fall and Winter approached, I thought about how to accomodate IWB without buying a whole new set of pants. My current pants fit but provide no additional room for the holster & gun. Plus the idea of buying pants that I could only wear while carrying seemed ridiculous.
One evening sifting through the mail and lo and behold - Land's End Comfort Waist pants! Don't laugh - you order them in your size and the waistband has built in panels with elastic bands to accomodate, erm, growth. I ordered a pair and have them on right now.
They are indistinguishable from Dockers and the elastic mechanism is very well hidden. Without a belt, noone will ever know if you're benefiting from a little extra s-t-r-e-t-c-h. Can you say Thanksgiving pants?
I also tried the pants on with my MTAC and it works like a charm. With the combined give of the elastic on both sides, I could probably carry an M16 IWB. When the gear comes off the waistband retracts and they fit normally.
Quite a find! Check them out here.
