As cooler weather is quickly making its presence known here in the mountains, the EDC wardrobe begins its seasonal change. The Sig Sauer P365, Glock 43, and Beretta Nano (and accompanying Ritchie Leather CQ-QR holsters) shall enter into semi-hibernation. The shoulder rigs and full size armament are getting dusted off and ready for deployment. Any of y'all going through a similar transition?
Seasons change. So does daily ordnance

Nope. I carry the same gun the same way all 4 seasons.

^^^^What he said.
What are seasons?
Those are some of the nicest shoulder rigs I ever did see.
I don’t know if it will be a fancy, high glossed leather rig, but I do see where I could use a solid shoulder rig with quality straps. In winter, I like throwing on a big, heavy pea coat or barn jacket with jeans and boots.
Carrying a pistol AIWB or even 3 to 4 o’clock with a heavy, thick coat that drapes over and past the line of your gun belt isn’t the easiest or quickest thing to draw from?
I think leaving the top buttons of the coat undone with a scarf would make a shoulder rig quite reasonable and a realistic viable carry?
While it may seem silly to some, cuz most of us have only ever seen shoulder carry in detective movies or sitcom’s like ‘Barney Miller.’?
Doesn’t a good shoulder rig with an oversized coat seem to make sense?
I get the term of ‘dressing around your pistol’. But when it gets really cold outside, like snow and Artic temperatures, give us a visual of your outside attire and how or where you carry with it?
I am AIWB most of the time now. It’s not too hard to yank the front of a thin and light jacket up out of the way and clear for the draw, but what about a large U.S Navy Peacoat from Schotts that is made from thick, durable and heavy Melton Wool?

Zipper depends on the weather conditions. If zipped to the top (meaning it's truly cold out):no worries. Quick tug downward with the weak hand, maybe around 18" or so and access to the weapon is pretty easy.
