It’s the week of Christmas and you suddenly realize you need to get that special someone a(nother) gift.
Now, I’m not saying that you (are?) procrastinated…. but you suddenly realized there’s not enough time for shipping (if you do order, not much faith that it arrives before Christmas).
What can you do?
- Gift Cards! Incognito Wear IX, we’ve got what shooters want. Functional Fashion, bellyband holster with built in trigger guard, jewelry, concealed carry purses and other self defense tools to keep you safe.
Buy, download and Send to your loved one. Bam! Best gift ever! You loved one can shop for what they want and you don’t have to worry about the size.
- Hand-made Gift as another wonderful option that shouldn’t be overlooked.
- Food – baked / cooked goodie,
- pretty artwork
- or favorite photograph(s)
- Write a letter or short story / poem
With love in your heart, any of these touching gifts with bring joy this Holiday season.
Personally, I’m a photo junkie. Since my grown children live in other states, getting photos from them lights up my heart. I think most mothers (and grandmoms) enjoy current photos of loved ones.
If you’re looking for something quick, something from the heart is always a winner.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

It’s official, the Christmas season is in full force! The turkey has been served and well, demolished. Black Friday / Cyber Monday – the BEST Shopping time of the year gets you in the festive, giving mood <3
I’ll bet you’re looking forward to the crowds of people and meeting lot’s of extended family, friends, and even co-workers during this busy time surrounded by holiday shopping and lots of Christmas parties.
And while living a lifestyle of safety and self reliance isn’t easy at times, Christmas holiday parties can add in a new angle with party attire and cocktails – yes the style of dress and the beverage.
Alcohol and your firearm.
Some things to consider before the party
1. Are you going to carry? While you may jump and say, “of course”, but I’d then have to ask you the question whether or not you intend to have any alcoholic drinks. It’s important to ALWAYS BE SAFE with firearms. So, make that decision before you get to the party. Know your limits. If you plan on drinking, plan to leave the firearm at home or have a designated “cc” friend/spouse.
2. If you’re going to carry at this festive Christmas party, I’d strongly encourage to carry on-body. It’s far too easy to become engaged in a story, for example, and forget to watch your (concealed carry) purse you “set down for a minute” (with your firearm unattended). Yes, it’s likely nothing would happen – but,then again, no one knows.
3.Test drive the holster and dress before the night of the party. We all know “practice makes perfect” and when it comes to saving your life, you want to be perfect so practice. Make sure if you’re carrying in a new location such as a thigh holster, you’ll want to know how to safely draw your firearm… just in case….
4. When it comes to dressing for a party, we have some great options like “Lacy” a black lace top that’s elegant, festive and conceals your firearm with easy. Of course, our signature original crossover top, “Lion + Lamb” is also a good choice. Both tops are Made in America and styled with “leather” looking leggings or a skirt, heels or boots, and some bling and you’ll be all set!
5.Carrying in a dress. This is a challenge to bend over, pull up the skirt or amount of fabric and draw your firearm. Personally, I’m more comfortable in slacks or a skirt over a dress. But I know there are dress lovers out there and that’s why I designed “Abigail” concealed carry dress. Carry your firearm where you can get to it quickly and the ideal location – at your waist!. “Abigail” was designed around our “Strix Bellyband holster” which has a built in trigger guard.
One final point, whatever holster you use, make sure it completely covers the trigger guard. If your holster has a clip on it, make sure it fits securely around your belt and doesn’t come off your belt when drawing your unloaded firearm as you test and practice.
Be safe & Merry!
I hope you know how much Jesus loves you! I invite you to experience his love this Christmas Season..

(Would you say that it’s rather interesting how the media responds to a shooting when it’s one of their own…. just saying).
I bring this up to emphasize how important gun safety is to understand and to practice it ALL THE TIME!
This is a tragedy and please keep cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ family in your prayers.
I feel like this is a good time to re evaluate my (and perhaps) your mindset. I believe this is at the core of making the decision to carry a firearm for self protection.
Are you mentally and emotionally prepared to pull the trigger if your life is threatened or another?
Don’t brush over this decision without some soul searching. If it’s not for you, you should know that (and if that’s you, it’s completely fine! No judgement here!).
Now would be the opportunity to chose another means for self defense (check out my Damsel in Defense site)
So, if you’re on board with the mental and emotional aspects of this decision and you carry, do you also carry some sort of shooters’ insurance?
This is basically insurance to help with the legal ramifications and legal assistance (this is another blog story to write).
If you don’t know about this type of insurance, now is a good time to study up on why and how it can help you should you ever have to draw your firearm.
Some companies to check out are (in no particular order).
I would invite you to-
find some time to explore (or re visit) your reasons for carrying self defense tools, whether it’s non-lethal or lethal.
Given our current social intolerance in culture, rise in crime rates, and the decline of consequences for breaking the law; one’s likelihood of an encounter some sort of scenario is, unfortunately, on the rise.
It’s my goal at Incognito Wear IX, to make protecting your life a little easier by providing clothing that’s fashionable and functional.
How? By style design that minimizes printing. Knowing you have these staples in your wardrobe saves you time in dressing, and getting out the door, so you are able to protect yourself and others.
Not only do you have a “Go-To” garment anytime you desire to carry, my clothes can save precious time (on your draw) by allowing you to discreetly grip and access your firearm.
Don’t leave home without it, and you’ll never be a victim because of style.
Stay armed, be fashionable and be incognito!

Recently, I had the honor of being a guest on Tactical Pay Radio to share my story and discuss what goes into clothing that is both fashionable and functional for concealed carry.
Designing clothing that looks great, and also allows everyday people to hide their firearms in plain sight isn’t easy, but the results speak for themselves.
