Overall wearer, need suggestions

[Hudgehog]

As an almost 50 yo, with my father’s genetics of no butt and big gut, I find overalls are the most comfortable thing I wear on the weekends, wouldn’t fly in my job. I’ve been wearing a belly band with a J frame, but would like to start carrying a 686, either 4” or 6”. I’ve though about the chest holsters under the flap, give a decent amount of concealment if I need to run into a gas station or something quick, SC is open carry, which I have never done. Any other suggestions since I don’t have to belt loops to support typical holsters?

Hudgehog - check out "Liberty" brand bib overalls.
I started wearing them for work (Oilfield for 43 years) and just carried over for most of my "casual days wear". The pockets are decent sized for pocket carry (My pocket-holster Keltec P3AT carry's easily) and they also have a pocket in the "bib". They're available online and also at Tractor Supply (where I usually buy mine).
Hope this'll help you out.

Four or six inches sounds like you need to start shopping for shoulder holsters. The place to start, in my humble opinion is Galco. May not be your last stop as I’m sure other recommendations will be mentioned. I can’t say how comfortable chest rigs would be as I personally done really feel comfortable, but that’s me.

Sew you a holster under the bib and draw from the side. When I wear my bibs around the place, I just drop a light revolver in the pants pocket. (Cobra works well) My wife won't let me go to town in my "over hauls." I think that she is afraid I will start chewing tobacco.

I was wearing mine in 1999 when we met, she has gotten used to it I guess.
