Along with the other comments, it appears the large zippered "concealment" pockets won't hold your pistol in a consistent position (like a belt holster does) so when you need to draw your pistol you're going to fumble around trying to find the grip.
I just wear a lightweight Seattle Mariners jacket most of the winter. It's front zip-up (I don't like pullover hoodies and such because I overheat and can't unzip to vent body heat). I used to carry IWB about 4:30- 5:00 o'clock but now I carry at 3:00 o'clock in either a IWB or OWB holster, depending on what I plan to be doing for the day. I went to 3:00 o'clock for a faster, more consist3ent draw from concealment. The Mariners jacket has worked for me for over two decades. I throw some change in the holster-side pocket to provide some mass to "sweep" out of the way when I draw. It allows me to achieve 3 shots in 3 seconds from concealment and land all three shots in an 8 inch target at 3 yards, which is the nominal response time to an unexpected armed assault.
Good luck!
