Venado Cotton Suede Concealed Carry Shirt Jacket

I am a 66 yrs young gold prospector and metal detectorist, and my dog and I go into the Washington State (wet) woods EVERY day, Rain or Shine. I wear this coat for protection from the woods in two ways. I wear this coat with my detecting tool belt; rock hammer, digger tool, machete, k-bar knife, tool and treasure pouch (a heavy belt on outside of coat) and my personal carry weapon, inside, and push through the thick, sometimes wet bushes, brambles and woods of Washington State for two months and it has kept me and my weapon (inside) dry and comfortable, not too hot with exertion, and the outside, so far has repelled water AND sharp stick damage. It also appears to repel the dirt. I dig as a prospector and detector. I find treasure in my coat, with my dog alongside as witness. I have NOT used it in Pouring rain. I don't go out in that, If I do, I use a raincoat. It's hard to dig for treasure in pouring mud. I am Impressed. I have field tested this jacket approx. 50 times and I may get another just for because. I will wait a few more trips through the woods and weather, but so far VERY GOOD. Light rain, wet bushes, trail hike, pretty good coat. And we look good for the bad guy surprise. (ccw)

The well-made coat feels soft. order xx-large but a little big in the arms. my shoulders are wide it was a good fit. wash in hot water and dry on hot sitting. it sucks in the right places, it fitts me perfectly.

This shirt jacket looks so great on. The fit and style is perfect. The color is amazing. The liner and inside components are soft but a little thin or flimsy for the price. Overall though, this is a keeper.

It's really a handsome shirt, the quality is top notch. The main issue I had with it is its too heavy to be a shirt, too light to be a jacket per se although you can use it as such, but when it came to carrying a sub compact 9 (sig sas) it printed badly, and was a 2 handed removal due to the way the snap holds the weapon. Upon draw, the butt catches the top of the strap, lifting the entire shirt/jacket and requires a second hand to hold the shirt down. It's too bulky to tuck in, and too light to be usable for the real reason you buy it. The snaps definitely make it easy to open, but impossible to present efficiently. Wasn't really for me and it's a shame, I really wanted to like it.

This jacket is made really well, fits perfectly and is of higher quality than i expected. Very pleased with this purchase. With or without carrying it fits well and looks great. I had it in my cart for some time but would have been happy to get this sooner now that i know. The brown is a great color in my opinion and goes with many outfits. Can be used for every day wear or even double as a nicer jacket for going out on many occasions. Very pleased.

I like the jacket, it looks and feels great. The holsters are a bit sloppy, and the snaps are falling off after wearing it 3x and never snapping them.The holsters seem ok for smaller caliber under 9mm or smaller sub compact 9mm.I wouldn't carry my Hellcat in it.

Bought this for my brosef for Christmas. He loves it and have caught him wearing it as part of his attire multiple times amd not just to make me feel good. I'd say 5 stars for that

After having this shirt for a few weeks, my wife saw a torn hole in the armpit area while I was wearing it. This was noticed just after the return time period expired. I believe it came this way as nothing has occurred to cause it. I guess I am stuck with a defective product. Will not buy again
