Holster & Carry FAQ
How are the holsters oriented, and can left-handed carriers use them?
The Iron Tradesman features fully ambidextrous internal holsters, allowing for either right- or left-handed carry. Each holster is positioned at a slight angle for a more natural, comfortable draw.
Will this vest work with my firearm?
The internal holsters are designed to accommodate most standard, compact, and subcompact pistols. Some micro-compact pistols may also fit, and most 1911-style pistols fit comfortably. Revolvers generally do not fit securely in the vest’s holsters.
If you are unsure about a particular firearm, email us before ordering. We will be glad to test or confirm whether your specific model should fit properly.
Always use a safe carry configuration that securely retains the firearm and protects the trigger. Confirm that concealed carry is legal in your jurisdiction and comply with all applicable laws.
Is the vest comfortable to wear through a full shift?
The Iron Tradesman is cut for all-day wear and structured to distribute the weight of tools and gear across the shoulders and chest without binding. Its working fit provides room to layer underneath while allowing you to move freely throughout a long day. Verified buyers report wearing it comfortably through full, active shifts on demanding jobsites.
Do tools and gear stay secure when I bend over or crouch on the job?
The Iron Tradesman is built from heavy American duck canvas that holds its shape under load. Its pockets are positioned and reinforced to keep contents stable through a full range of jobsite movement—including bending, crouching, and reaching. The vest’s structured construction helps minimize shifting during active work.
