Hey, Have you ever wanted to be a “designer”? Here is your opportunity!
I’m sure deep down for many of you, at some point in your childhood (especially girls) you dreamed of being a designer. Any kind of designer – whether it be in fashion, interior decorating, toy maker, engineer, floral, 3D image designer, and the list goes on.
I want to give you a chance at that dream. You see, I had a dream of being a designer – only in my youth it was to design and build custom furniture. While I may not be making things out of wood, I am designing clothes. But what would make me happy is to make sure I am designing what YOU want!
Criss Cross, design yours
“Tell me what you want, what you really, really want”….
Our goal with Incognito Wear IX, is to make dressing around a firearm an easy task. No more of “I have nothing to wear” excuses! We want you to have the option of carrying your firearm where ever you go; regardless of the “required dress code”. That means whether you are out running a weeks worth of errands in 3 hours, a day at the park, or the office, we want to make sure you have the clothing options you desire. We want to keep you in style and to make sure you are never a victim!
So, can we play “designer”? Will you connect with us and let us know how we can give you what you need to carry? Given the tragic events this past week in VA. it is more vital to keep the American citizen armed for protection.
If you could design your own Cris Cross top, what color would you pick? Black, Wine, Navy, Chai, Graphite, Red hot, or Neon Lime? Some really great solid colors to pick from, right? It is sooo hard to decide!
But, I want to know what is your most favorite color for this top? (more…)

Do you shop online? Do you buy from Amazon.com? Here is a great way to support the defense of our 2nd Amendment right – A forwarded message:
Father’s Day Shopping Helps SAF! (Second Amendment Foundation)
How can you save money AND support SAF’s lawsuits (helmed by legal rock-stars like Alan Gura) at the same time? It’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3!
SAF is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
1. Get to Amazon through saf.org/amazon . When you want to shop at Amazon, get there by going to saf.org/amazon – you’ll be redirected to the regular Amazon homepage. Voila!
2. Buy stuff! Really. It’s that simple. Every item that you buy through saf.org/amazon (even if you just put items in your cart and buy them later) is credited to our fundraising program. Oh – it costs you NOTHING, by the way. Total win-win, right?
3. Watch SAF win (with your help!). Up to 10% of every purchase through saf.org/amazon is sent by Amazon to SAF and used to help fund more Second Amendment litigation.
Still have questions? Here’s more on this awesome program:
When you go to Amazon through saf.org/amazon, Amazon creates a special “session” cookie that associates your purchases with our affiliate account. It’s all transparent to the shopper; there’s literally no difference in your shopping experience.
No, we can’t know who ordered what. Amazon does a great job making sure your privacy is protected.
Once you get to Amazon through saf.org/amazon, all you will see in your browser’s address bar will be a url containing a “tag” like this one: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&tag=s0cc7-20. There won’t be any “confirmation page” or notice that you’re shopping through saf.org/amazon.

Hello My fellow armed citizens!
It’s been awhile since we spoke. I know this is a very busy time with baseball, gardening, garage sales, weddings and graduations to plan and attend. Have you made a plan of how you will carry? And what you will wear?
What, if any, restrictions on guns are there for the venues for such special events that you will be attending? I am thankful to have been able to attend my own daughter’s graduation this last week. Here is a resource to verify state reciprocity laws.
crowds
As I write this thinking of celebratory events and happy times to look forward to, the news breaks in with an overwhelming sobering thought of just how short life is. At an event in the UK – Ariana Grande concert, the unthinkable happened… again. My heart goes out to those whose lives have instantly been turned inside out & upside down and many stricken with grief and sadness.
While it is tragic, it is a call to action and to train. This is why we learn how to shoot; why we concealed carry. It is a reason for starting Incognito Wear IX – so that you don’t have an excuse to not be armed. That is “not having anything to wear” and to be able to conceal a weapon-with the assumption that it is permitted by law.
So, what kind of clothing do you want to wear with your firearm?
We want your input! Here are some of our newest designs. Please let us know what you want, what you would like us to make. These Ready to Wear fashion clothes have a hidden access to your firearm and allow for a singular hand draw.
A – Trinity Aztec print
B – Cris Cross 1 pc jersey, cross body draw with one hand
C – Weekender lightweight Aztec print
Let us know what you like, or don’t like. Tell us about your clothing needs so we can keep you armed. We are waiting to hear your thoughts and your input on what to manufacture (selection(s) A, B, C) & sizes (S/M/L or numerical). Email Jan!

What is this #IWIX thing? I don’t really get it? Why do I need special clothing to Concealed Carry?
For me, it was my first time carrying on body. But first, how did I arrive at this idea?
I took the basic courses and joined a lady’s group at my range to learn more about shooting and carrying concealed. There are options for women who want to carry a concealed handgun, only what I found were mostly for in-purse carry; or for first responders, and the typical tactical clothing or “shooting” clothes.
I already felt like there was a neon sign above my head flashing “she’s got a gun”! I didn’t want my clothes to say it either! The whole idea about concealed carry is that you’re hiding in plain sight, right? i.e. to be “INCOGNITO”. Wala!
Oh, I’d carry a gun in a purse, but that got heavy. And I would have to be very careful about where I set my purse down and worry about someone else going through it, finding it and discovering a gun. Fortunately, my children were young adults and I didn’t have to worry about that aspect. But many do, and should be concerned about what they do or where they leave their purse if they are carrying a gun in it. Or for that matter, if it gets stolen!
So, I spent several hours looking through my closet, finding nothing to wear.
What do you wear to hide a gun or how do you dress around a firearm? This was so new to me and no one really talked about what kind of clothes you needed to shop for in order to keep this ‘thing’ hidden but readily accessible.
So, off I went to the mall. But this time, I really didn’t need the excuse that I don’t have “anything to wear”. Not that my husband would have minded. Women love to shop, it’s really a social thing for us. My goal was to find clothing that was fashionable, but would also discreetly concealed a handgun. There just wasn’t anything suitable. I shopped online – Again, not much there in the way of clothing.
In my women’s shooting group class, I heard several women talking about having to work late or travel and some scary scenarios they might encounter – and what to do; how to respond – just in case. Of course, first and foremost is learning how to be situational aware of your surrounding environment.
I wonder, just how do you carry a gun in a dress?
I mean, you’re a working professional, executive, business women with a need to be fashionable and well dressed…And to be able to protect/defend yourself if something horrible arose.
I contemplated about what kind of clothes that would fit this need. The need to have work clothes for one, and two, clothing perfect for concealment of a firearm that (I) would feel that my gun wouldn’t print (through). You know, to make choosing something to wear easy; to pick out clothing to go with my gun. The goal in all of this would be to provide some type of clothing to remove any hassle of dressing for concealment, to empower you for every day carry. Surely, picking out something to wear shouldn’t take 30 or more minutes.
So, I think of it in terms of finding that perfect necklace, pair of earrings, or shoes that make the outfit – complete. That thing that makes you feel as good as you look! We are all want to feel beautiful, and be stylish with or without our gun.
This adds a whole new dimension to making a fashion statement.
Concealed carry is more than just being able to defend your life or that of another human being. We recognize the danger and power of carrying a loaded firearm, and what could happen if we are forced to defend our self, draw it, or even fire it. The rights given to us by the 2nd Amendment aren’t taken lightly, but with the utmost of respect.
For those who don’t get this whole gun tote’n thing, it’s not the law-abiding folks that you ought to be concerned about, but the one who don’t respect the law and authority.
Just because some people don’t swim, they don’t know how to, or were never taught, doesn’t mean that swimmers shouldn’t have specialized clothing. Bathing suits or swimsuits are specialized garments. Just because you may not want to swim doesn’t mean a swimsuit shouldn’t be made available for those who do.
There are an awful lot of people who love to swim and need swimsuits!
The same is true for those who believe in the 2nd Amendment, and want to concealed carry. They need specialized clothing too.
So, this is how Incognito Wear IX came about. I set out to make some specialized clothes – casual tops, Maxi dress (that’s perfect for spring) and a professional work-wear dress giving 3 optional carry positions, a patterned tunic top, and soon to be developing pants and jeans. Even though men’s regularly available clothing is easier to conceal in, they too need specialized clothing. We are providing new clothing options for the concealed carrier that hasn’t been available- and especially for a growing group of women who are getting their concealed carry permits and carry on a regular basis.
We’d love to hear from you and how you carry or what obstacles you have overcome in order to protect yourself and loved ones in exercising your 2nd Amendment rights. Connect with us on social media: facebook, instagram, twitter, pintrest
