Does anyone apply a backing on your IWB's?

I guess it must not bother me, i wear the supertuck(leather) without an undershirt in all occasions with no discomfort or chaffing. wimps... :)

What kind of glue with the moleskin?

Moleskin has its own adhesive backing.
Makes my leather holster more comfy, and helps with sweat in summer.
I don't wear undershirts.

I want to try this with my other CTAC....applied directly on the kydex

When undershirtless I stick with (pun intended) my MTAC or an OWB. Like many here though I'm wearing an undershirt most of the time.

...I wear a wife-beater ...

The first time I heard that expression, I was clueless: Wife-beater?

Then, when they told me that it was a tee-shirt w/the sleeves cut off, the light came on right away: Almost every picture I ever saw of a guy arrested for Domestic Violence, the guy was wearing ...a wife-beater!

Never was a garment more aptly named.

los, Nice touch with the modified STuck. Did you just use some heavy duty scissors to cut the leather? What position do you wear you supertuck? I prefer 3 oclock. This is most comfortable but sometimes harder to conceal. 5 oclock is my second choice, since 4 oclock tends to make the the grip to print too much.

An undershirt does an awesome job of wickin moisture...even in heat and humidity. I have a friend that wears two shirts year round.

Thanks. I really enjoyed working on the project.

No. I used a standard type utility knife. Here's a link to the Thread I posted regarding the modification...

My comfy zone strong-side carry is at about 3:30. Appendix strong side just at about 1:30.

... for concealed carry it's cowhide or horsehide for this cat.

+ 1 to that... Amen, brother... Can I get a witness!!!

For regular day-in, day-out IWB concealment, kydex is yucky... (OMO, of course; I concede that kydex does have its merits and its own applications at which it excels - But IWB is not one of them, at least not for me).

Interesting question, but let me take a different tack.

I lived in Texas for a couple years, and now reside in NC: another state known for hot, humid summers. When I was young, my daddy told me I'd be cooler with a t-shirt or a-shirt on under my outershirt as the undershirt absorbs and evaporates sweat. I've tried both options and now agree with dad.

Personally, I perfer an undershirt on a hot day.

If you notice all the Hispanic workers that work outside in the hot sun usually have long sleeves on with undershirts under them.
I agree with this poster and feel cooler with undershirt and loose overshirt that keeps the sun off my skin.

Dont forget about the "Drunken T-shirt". It's no shirt on at all.
Bare chested and drunk.

Ever notice all the white guys on "Cops" that are drunk are shirtless?

I took my kydex IWB holster (appendix carry) and a scrap of sheepskin and some duct tape... and it is perfect. I figured I would have to replace the sheepskin often, but it's been six months and no odor or dirt at all. It does make the holster look really strange, though.
