Carry and Conceal Shirt

Abstract

A carry and conceal garment is provided that allows a wearer to carry an article along the wearer's waist without alerting others to its presence. The garment comprises an outer garment layer and an inner garment layer. The inner garment layer forms to the wearer's torso and is adapted to be tucked behind the carried article and into the wearer's pants waist. The outer garment layer is positioned over the carried article and loosely over the wearer's pants waist. The outer garment layer comprises a first tubular shell, whereby the inner garment layer comprises a second tubular shell. The tubular shell of the inner garment layer is either coextensive with the tubular shell of the outer garment, or is one that is limited to the mid-torso of the wearer and is affixed to the midportion of the tubular shell of the outer garment layer.
