"civilian camouflaged" OWB holster

Has anyone else wanted to "civilian camouflage" their OWB holster? I love my Blackhawk CQC Serpa holster, but I was afraid someone would catch a glimpse when reaching overhead and be quick with "GUN!"...
So this was my solution.
- Blackhawk CQC Serpa holster Springfield XD9 SC w/ single Mag holster
The pattern breaks up the shape, and is non-threatening, so the first thing they think isn’t armed assailant...
What do y’all think??
P.s. I’m new here, been lurking for a while, just recently felt the need to post...

Interesting idea... particularly given that (hopefully) most glimpses will be just that and not a prolonged look at your exposed firearm. My first thought is that your choice of patterns/materials would likely draw more eyes to the holsters than anything else if I was wearing them. But then, I am not a very flashy dresser.

Um...
I'll just say it's not what I would do.

i think i posted this in the wrong area...
it shouldnt be in the "Market" area, rather "day-to-day holsters and accesories"

Denim, Kaki… Maybe not a bad idea. Might blend.

If I could get one in Leopard print it would blend seamlessly with my suite.

I had always pictured you as a “Tiger Stipe” person.

That's for more of a business look. The Leopard is for evenings and parties.

Actually, the OP may be on to something here...but for the full effect, I think
the grips and the slide need to have an argyle print as well.

I only wanted to conceal the holster so if the bottom of the shirt ever lifted the holster would not be obvious. This way it breaks up the image and doesn’t look like a firearm holster...
