It is larger than expected. I am 5' ,8", athletic build at 210 lbs. the jacket is loose enough to wear a hoodie under it. The carry pockets are huge! You could carry a 12" barrel or longer. The pockets go all the way down to the waistline. There is a stiff plastic liner in the outer liner of the carry pockets. It reduces printing. Everything in the carry pockets are attached via Velcro. I had to rivet the included holster to fit a Glock without it falling out. There are two carry pockets, left and right side, they closed with a snap closure.

It looks nice, fits nice. But if you got it for the main purpose if conceal carry...I'm a little dissatisfied with it. It comes with a universal holster (which is nice) but it attaches to Velcro on the inside pockets. So if you attach it on the inside of the pocket it holds my compact SA:XD9, but it becomes super bulky and just looks ugly. It looks better if I let the gun drop to the bottom of the pocket, but in an emergency it'll take a longer to withdraw my firearm. The inside of the jacket is thin, it feels too thin actually, I feel like it'll tear up quick, unfortunately I still haven't worn it out in public because of the heat. It's summer and our weather has been in the triple digits. So I will be updating later on to see how it lasted.

For now my only problem is the CCW pocket, when carrying conceal it is WAY TOO bulky;

And my only concern is that the inside material may be too thin and might not last long.

But it is Wrangler material and I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Overall when I don't have my firearm concealed it looks nice and fits nice. Length of jacket is ever so slightly under my belt. It's perfect.

The velcro pockets are a little stiff aside from that wonderful

I do not want to fault this jacket. It has no shortcomings that I have found. It is just not what I was hoping for.

I do not care about the concealed carry feature. I wanted a lined denim jacket and they are hard to find in tall sizes. I was hoping that I would still be able to use the inside pockets to drop in a wallet or checkbook. That is not practical with this jacket since the inside pockets have no bottoms. Anything placed into them other than possible a firearm would have to be retrieved from behind the lining at the bottom.

A firearm would apparently attach to the inside plastic strips that are sort of like Velcro. This would attach with an accessories that is included with the jacket. The downside to this is that the plastic strips are very noisy with about every movement.

The denim used to make the jacket that I got is the type of denim that looks to me like the imported imitation of American denim. It is not a denim look match with jeans and other clothing. It does not look like the denim pictured on the online catalog. The collar is corduroy, the jacket is well made and the fit for me is correct for an XL Tall.

I use to carry a concealed weapon when I was a police officer. If I were to carry a concealed weapon again this is not the way that I would do it. I would stay with the high rise belt holster. I will however keep the jacket since it is comfortable and well made.

I bought this for my husband so he could carry while wearing a jean jacket. He was really pleased.
