You mean like this cleverly disguised tack driver?

:lol:
I was thinking more of a logo plate than a color scheme but you're in the right ballpark.

Trimming a holster in denim is a newt idea and I'll definitely try it out soon. Same could go for wool trousers, khaki. If I am thinking about it correctly you would just need to cut some fabric in the same shape as the exterior template. Possibly spray adhesive it on and then sew in place.

Another idea would be bright red with a white cross, like some sort of medical pouch.

That works like a charm - especially if the pouch is in a nontraditional color like lime green.

Some makers of nylon rigs will whip one up for you in a custom color for a fee.

Re: "civilian camouflaged" OWB holster

Here's an idea for a refinement:

Holster "skins" that can be applied to make the holster blend in with common materials used in pants.

Sorta like the new ladies' purses where the cargo carrying module acts as a carrier for outer coverings to match the wearer's outfit.

You may have a highly profitable business idea here if you can commercialize (and patent) it.

Re: "civilian camouflaged" OWB holster

Although a little ribbing is inevitable with something like this, the thought is clever and worth pursuing. I think it has the potential to be developed further into something quite worthwhile.
