I probably won’t go with one of the famous artisan holster makers, but I can pick up a Galco Miami Classic at my LGS for around $100?

Worked fine for Sonny Crockett
IIRC my Miami Classic was $55.00 new when I bought it and I also have the Bianchi horizontal, but honestly I prefer the vertical ones.I probably won’t go with one of the famous artisan holster makers, but I can pick up a Galco Miami Classic at my LGS for around $100?
An old Brauer Bros with my Makarov.
$55? Wow!
It was awhile ago and may have been on sale. I like the Bianchi horizonal as well for small revolvers.
So I live in the kc metro area such that it is cold and can snow but “arctic” is really not applicable.
heading into wk I have a 2 block walk from a semi heated garage. I have on suit coat and slacks. so the layers would likely be tucked in t shirt, tucked in dress shirt. Then fleece/down wool vest that is loose enough to still pull up and access AIWB. Open sport/suit coat. Open dress coat. Scarf. Perhaps a hat. That would do me fine for the walk down into the 20s. Colder than that, add a pair of thin gloves and a hat.
If it is really cold then I am going to ditch the sport coat and use a blue one I am keeping at the office, sub in a heavier 1/4 zip fleece and go from there.
If it is like single digit cold than I am likely wearing a coat that has a two way zipper or a button pattern that is up enough for me to get to the waist line.
I am not going to say that I have never put the J frame in top outer pocket. I am going to say that I am far more effective defensively dressing around a bigger gun.
If were going to outside for a while shoveling snow:
long johns/tucked in long sleeve 1/4 zip fleece/fleece lined pants. Bigger untucked 1/4 zip/Down/or primaloft coat with a 2 way zipper. Still carrying AIWB.
PS- If I was really going to be out in the cold for hours on end, I would likely pivot to full sized gun in some style of fanny pack/sling bag/chest bag.

Sounds like a well thought out plan of carry.
I live in KC metro area as well, If I head into town in summer use an IWB holster usually with a sig 365xl, otherwise I use a paddle holster that can be covered by shirt tail or light/heavy jacket. Occasionally depending on jacket and what I am doing will OWB one of my 1911's.

The Sig Sauer P365 may see some additional duty this winter. Sam Andrews currently has a number of items (holsters, belts, etc.) made and ready for sale. NO WAIT!!
That being the case, I decided to run with another Monarch rig; this time for a more diminutive sidearm.
Should have it in a few days....

Sam’s including an invoice. Sure it will be a tad spendy but will almost certainly be worth the price he puts on it.
