I have two identical shirts. Dark blue cotton ribbed knit type shirts. Only difference is one is a 3X and the other a 2X. I always wear a t-shirt, black preferably, under my cover shirt. I currently carry a Sig P-225 in a Galco OWB holster at 4 o'clock and 3 spare mags. When I wear the 2x my weapon doesn't print and the shirt does not hang up on the weapon. Tonight I was wearing my 3x shirt, (identical to the 2x except for the size) and twice it hung up on my weapon EXPOSING IT! Once at the races, my wife notified me of it. I got up from my seat to go down the stairs to the car, and it completely uncovered the my weapon. When I returned I observed the people in the area and no one looked directly at me so I feel that no but my wife seen it. Later as I left a convenience store at 2230, my wife again flagged to my fully exposed weapon.
Step one to cure this is to buy a new carry belt, and step two is to switch to an IWB. No step one is to better check my cover every time I rise or change positions in an inconspicuous manner as possible.
BTW Iowa is NOT an open carry state. So public exposure can result in problems. And if your weapon is seen you can have trouble too!
Anyone else ever had this occur with identical garments? What other suggestions might you have avoid this problem. Obviously this shirt is no longer in my cover garment locker. Tomorrow it polishes my wifes ( she who must be obeyed
) sports car.
