OWB vs IWB

I have been OWB for 12 years. I am now trying IWB and have some observations. Just wanted to bounce it off the team and get your feedback.
After 3 days its very comfortable although still difficult to take on and off. concealability is awesome compared to OWB.
The main reason I decided to try it is because I dropped a few pounds aso now all my pants are loose.
Not sure I would want to buy my entire wardrobe of pants large just to accommodate IWB and I will soon be buying all new clothing. Sitting back in a chair/couch or driving is more uncomfortable because the fit is more 5 oclock when before I was used to 3 or 3:30. I think both styles can work for me at one point or another.
My biggest and oldest concern is what I will do in the summer. I have always quit carrying when just in a tshirt and shorts for the most part but after all these years I’m not willing to give it up in the summer any more. But that can be another topic in the near future.

Personally I carry IWB with an alien gear cloak tuck 3.0 and have loved it. Been carrying this way for about a year now and dont have many complaints. Personally I try to keep mine somewhere between the 4’o clock and 5’o clock position. I have never had too much of in issue in summer with this set up as far as printing or conceal ability. The only thing that grinds my gears sometimes is when im wearing certain pairs of pants that make it extremely uncomfortable when driving. besides that I dont think you’ll have too many problems.

Appendix carry! I’m beginning to form a belly on me and it is getting a little less comfortable, but it is still the only IWB style I enjoy.

I’ll put an LCP and a Remora in my front pocket of my cargo shorts in the summer if I feel I can’t conceal my appendix rig to my liking with my wardrobe. Even though I said appendix is the only IWB I enjoy, I will still use a Crossbreed holster with a PM9 if need be. After a few weeks of IWB, you will begin to enjoy it more and more.

But nothing beats being able to use a leather OWB in the winter…

I just got the same one. Do you carry it against your bare skin ever?
