Carry in a suit?

[NuclearSociety]

So I just got my first ever suit.
Went to Boscovs and had it altered a little, sleeves taken up a bit and same with the pants.

I have some holsters that are tuck-able but even with a small snub 38 special I get major printing in my jacket.

Any ideas?

See attached for my new suit

I carry my lcp in a pocket holster in my jacket inside pocket.

Or you could try an ankle holster for your 38.

I would say it has got to be the holster. I carry a J-frame under a t-shirt without detection.

I'm not used to wearing pants at this true waist line, that also is making it hard to conceal,
I have tried 3 different holsters...
A Pocket, A Galco tuck, A Desantis Tuck.

It seems no matter what angle I put it at it prints.

Should I go to a shop and have some extra cloth sewn in or something?

I dont want to do a shoulder rig in case I want to take the jacket off, Hmm :/

Two things.

One, your shirt cuffs should show about a 1/4 inch.

Two, find a tailor and have him alter the jacket to fit over the holster.

My tailor in Virginia did work for Secret Service agents and he told me that he once altered a suit "to fita over a machine-ah gun." Yeah, he was from Italy.

My current tailor (also from Italy) can take a $200 suit and make it look like a $1,000 suit with a nip here and a tuck there.

I may have to go up to the next size dress shirt,
I dont want the sleeves taken up any more, if I do when I fold or move my arms it will rise too high.

I took it to a quick fit alterations shop and had the alterations done for $40 because I needed the suit ready for saturday, Im heading off to a wedding.

Ill have to see how quick i can get the sleeves fixed.

+1 on that. It would have been easier had you worn the gun and holster to the fitting you already had, but that is what it is.

I carry in a suite all the time. It is all about being fitted while wearing what you want it to cover, be that a beer belly or a gun

Well the store i bought it from and the alterations person I took it to could not do that and they do not "officially" allow firearms on mall property

Get a LCP and a pocket holster! I refused to go unarmed on my wedding day so it was best option.

+1.

I typically carry either a G22 or a G23.

When neither will hide, the LCP goes for a ride.
