I think either a man with a gun or a fruit with a purse. Get one of thoese heavy duty brown paper bags from the Ace Hardware store and drop a 1911 in it. Your manhood won't be in doubt then.

Gator, I bought a superb IDF fleece jacket from Zahal a couple years ago, they were great to deal with. Fast shipping, good packaging, and the jacket is the best of that style I've owned.
It's reversible and thus two-layers thick. It's almost too warm at 35F. And only $39.00!
IDF Fleece Jacket

I have carried a concealed pistol for more of my life than I haven't. I just feel more comfortable with carry on my person. I also believe that off body carry makes it more difficult to prevent a gun grab. The biggest problem I would have with it is that my memory is so poor at times that I am afraid I would forget it and leave it somewhere. I also learned early on that under stress, one will do what has been most familiar. For that reason, I always carry in the same type of rig in the same location on my person with rare exceptions...

Marom Dolphin tends to make good gear. They're a supplier of various kit to the IDF and even made my external wear armor. I'd wondered how Zahal was to deal with, as I was thinking of getting one of the IDF LBVs from them.

I have dealt with Zahal at least twice, everything went well and shipping was fast considering it's coming from Israel.

A couple of the interesting things they sell are Glock shoulder stocks and magazine baseplates that will clip on to the Picatinny rail so the spare mag acts as a foregrip. Don't tell me, I already know.

They also sell an 870 forend with three Picatinny rails for lights, laser, or pistol grip. And it's all at reasonable prices.
