EDC Apparel & Our Story

Always Carry

The vision for premium concealment apparel was born in 2020 after discovering a distinct lack of wardrobe options for the Everyday Protector. Established in Texas, Tarnkappe Gear was built with a singular purpose: to offer functionally designed, elevated apparel for those exercising their right to carry—without ever compromising on style.

Our mission is to provide apparel that eliminates unwanted attention to your self-defense gear. Our number one priority is delivering top-tier concealment products of unrivaled quality. We strive to build lasting trust with our customers through our premium garments, impeccable customer service, and reliable support.

Tarnkappe — "The Cloak of Invisibility"

The name Tarnkappe comes from ancient European legend, where a magical cloak allowed its wearer to move unseen. While our apparel doesn't make anyone invisible, it is designed to help responsible carriers remain discreet, confident, and prepared.

Our apparel allows you to seamlessly blend into your surroundings without raising suspicion. Whether you are downtown, in the office, or out for a weekend walk, Tarnkappe Gear ensures you dress well and conceal flawlessly using your preferred carry method. Our patented GhostSnaps™ access system provides faster access while maintaining the appearance of a traditional button-up shirt.

Looking Ahead

As we grow, Tarnkappe Gear will continue designing and developing additional everyday apparel to complete your EDC wardrobe. We are starting with our premium shirts, but our mission to perfect concealment is constantly expanding so you can truly “Always Carry.”
