Coat shopping for carry

Yes, I am looking at the NRA store online and it seems they have the largest variety of options that I’ve found so far. 

I love my 5.11 soft shell, and if you hunt around you can often find them on sale for under $80.

This has a pocket appropriate for carrying IN the jacket?

i just looked quick on the 5.11 site. There are several named “soft shell”. 

Thanks

For the last 30 years I have worn the mil-spec MA-1 flight jacket. (Actually, I have been through 5 of them).  They are waist length, nylon shell, very warm when cold out yet for some reason I can wear it indoors for periods of time without getting too hot.  This is great when wearing a shoulder holster and going into a restaurant or store.  They are very durable and comfortable.  My favorite manufacturer is Alpha Industries.  They are waist length so doesn't conceal so well for belt carry unless IWB.  It is a great all season coat/jacket.  Also, it has large ambidextrous  interior pockets that easily hold small revolvers and semi-autos, or magazines/speed loaders.

I carry OWB. So I buy hip length coats which cover the gun well. I currently have two Carharts. One light/medium weight for warmer days and another thick heavy weight for when it gets really cold. Both have roomy pockets including inside pockets where I can drop a small frame revolver or auto if I choose to. If I know I'm going someplace where I know the coat will be taken off, I just leave my shirt tail out.
