About Us
It took a year and a half, tens of thousands of dollars, and
Gray Man Apparel started when we realized that there was a gap between conceal carrying and wearing gym shorts, joggers, sweatpants, etc.
I was at the store conceal carrying in gym shorts, debating whether or not I really needed to get the cereal off the top shelf and risk my sagging laser beam being in full view of the family next to me.
At the time I was carrying a subcompact hellcat, and if I were to have needed to pull that bad boy out the entire holster would've come with it.
We looked for solutions and actually ordered from multiple brands, but all of them left me wanting to cut the legs off of my jeans instead.
With normal dudes in mind we started to design shorts that were simple and didn't give off a tacti-cool look but were still
Finding a manufacturer in the US was nearly impossible without the shorts being almost $200 per pair due to all of the custom sewing needed. With the help of consultants in Houston, we connected with the best clothing manufacturer in India to make these more affordable for our customers. Luckily we managed to get the belts handmade in Florida.
Gray Man Theory has been overused and made kind of cringy over the years, but the actual idea makes complete sense... looking normal while being prepared. That's why we made it a point to have hidden color matched logos, simple designs, solid colors, and nothing flashy.
