    Jeans are your problem. Just about any brand jean will print like a mofo.
    Pants like Dockers, cargos. etc,are what you need.

    I wear Lee Wyoming cargo pants and shorts and Lee comfort kakis.
    No problem in any way pocket carrying.

    Heres a pic with a G26 in the Lee cargos. And they are not as hot as jeans, nor are they expensive.

    For anyone interested here is a rough size comparison between a pretty standard fabric pocket holster (Blackhawk) and the kydex Aholster.

    Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!

    I wear the Duluth Weekender jeans or their 40 Grit khakis. Not too expensive and have very deep pockets. Certainly deep enough for a J frame.

    But they are hard on the finish so hope it is a stainless J-frame.

    In addition to the SL 25, I've tried the Kramer, Desantis Nemesis, Galco, Uncle Mikes, Remora and Mika. Mika is my favorite, carries my 442 with CT LG-405 everyday in my front pocket.

    Mika can make a pocket holster for a 4" K-frame which can be sewn into the hand warmer pocket of a Filson Packer coat or Carhart barn coat.

    Only pocket holster maker that listed the Model 12 snub. Really nice guy and a good product.
    no one sees what's written on the spine of his own autobiography.
