I have a Columbia jacket which has a neat pocket which comfortably 
holds my iPhone 6S+. I also have an LL Bean jacket with a similar 
pocket permitting accessiblity when zipped up. In warmer weather I have 
a useful Columbia vest which gives me all the carry options I could 
possibly need.

No problem.
My Kimber CPD II .45ACP is easily carried when needed using either an 
Andy Arratoonian custom holster from "Horseshoe Leather"
<http://www.holsters.org>

...or a more economical paddle holster from Galco.

So here is the Columbia jacket showing iPhone 6S+ and Kimber in Galco 
paddle holster.
