the problem is easy to see
Ever been called out for carrying a concealed pistol?
Why do concealed carry holsters print so obviously through work attire? Thin, lightly-colored fitted shirts and blouses weren't made to conceal rigid material, square edges and solid colors. And wearing a jacket is not always desirable or practical.
​
But printing is serious and consistently ranks in the top 3 problems that discourage lawful concealed carry at the office.​
​
Carry your pistol confidently concealed with LayerOne. Its flexible, soft and transparent material naturally conform to the curves of our body. And LayerOne's organic surfaces and absence of square edges drastically reduce printing and detection.
Freedom to ditch the jacket? Delivered.
LayerOne
No more printing from hard edges or straight lines
Mimics the body's rounded surfaces
Best of all, no jacket required to conceal your pistol

Why an underarm holster?
Configure it as an IWB, appendix carry, thigh, or underarm.
​
Underarm (a.k.a. shoulder) rigs are generally regarded as the most comfortable for long-duration wear
They're a great option when driving or sitting for extended periods & conceal the pistol bump between the torso and arm
​
Underarm rigs worn under a shirt make it difficult for anyone other than the wearer to access the pistol
Founder's Story
Like many, I have sadly lost innocent friends to a live shooter.
In the Spring of 2020, I separated from a 25-year career in another field to focus on increasing the odds that armed help is present by designing and developing a safe, comfortable solution that doesn’t print. I am a self-funded, grassroots 'company of one' that created LayerOne during an arduous and expensive 3-year journey.
I’ve carried concealed pistols for 17 years. Most of that time was during work in corporate America where business attire is obviously required. Most of those who carry while wearing this clothing are familiar with the daily detectability, comfort, and safety challenges.
Necessity drove imagination and I spent two and a half years researching, drawing, and prototyping ideas. My interest in protecting innocent life evolved into a passion as my refinements to the prototypes began to deliver positive results. It was the most profound experience of my life; the intensity of how passion feels and what it enables made me realize that my other ‘passions’ aren't more than super fun activities.
I hope my passion is evident in the quality of the products that I develop for you and me.
LayerOne® reduces or eliminates challenges with certain clothing, environments, and applications and it ought to improve the odds that armed help will be around.
Thank you for supporting our Second Amendment, for carrying and training, and most of all thank you for your courage and bravery to protect.
