Abstract

An upper torso garment includes a torso section extending from a waist region to a neck region, a front region positioned adjacent to a chest of a wearer of the garment, and a back region positioned adjacent to a back of the wearer. The torso section includes a left torso region and a right torso region. A quick draw pocket is positioned on the left or right lateral side of the front region of the torso section, proximate to the waist region. The quick-draw pocket includes a pocket opening on a laterally outer side of the quick-draw pocket and a holster pocket opening on a longitudinal top edge of the quick-draw pocket. The pocket opening leads to a pocket chamber, and the holster pocket opening leads to a holster pocket chamber separate from the pocket chamber. The holster pocket chamber overlaps the pocket chamber in a stacked configuration.
