T-shirts dont work for me either, I am too short to wear a huge t-shirt to conceal a gun and I just look silly. What works for me is any short sleeve button up type shirt untucked that fits loose enough to conceal the gun. Best thing to do is wear the gun and go shopping for some shirts and try them on to see if they will work for you without printing. That usually works well for me both IWB and OWB, you will need some extra room in the shirt for it.

Sportcoat/suitcoat/blazer/tux. Or a Hawaiian shirt.
Considering a safari shirt. And safari jacket.

I think that a high riding holster that keeps the grip closer to the body (with a good belt) might help a lot when trying to conceal with a t-shirt or polo.
My two pennies based on my experience...

Tucked and untucked. Just about any type shirt will do. Using the Cross Breed makes it easy for either.
I've almost always tucked my shirts so when I started going around untucked everyone noticed so I just buy my shirts on size larger and tuck normally. AL |

I want to blend in. Those "shoot-me-first" vests don't hack it in the NC summer. I prefer cargo shorts with my Beltman belt, my SuperTuck with a strong cant, and my Kimber Ultra CDP II at my 3:30 position. I often wear an undershirt with a camp shirt over it.
The Hawai'ian shirt look went out of style with Magnum PI. I also use the same set up with jeans for casual wear, or with a Wild Bill's Summer Comfort clip holster under a suit coat. It's fun to wear my Kimber under a cummerbund for those speacial events. ![]() |

![]() Actually, what you are calling a Camp Shirt I might be calling a Hawaiian shirt, as the cut is very similar. My Hawaiian shirts don't always have a "wild" print either. Biker

I I usually wear is an opened print shirt, or a larger T-shirt with a wife-beater underneath to keep leather away from the skin.
Either option with the proper fit, easily covers the sidearm. If you've had too much pizza, of course your concealment may be a problem...buy 'bigger'. Stay armed...keep it concealed...stay safe!

Printed or textured fabrics are better than plain, darker colors are better than light. clingy knits are not your friend.
I also test drive everything in the fitting room with my carry weapon as well.
