Carry Garment Options - Page 3

For me I believe that the one size large polo option will work out. Sucks that they don't seem to make specialized carry attire for the under 50 demographic.

+1 on camp shirts. Cabela's always has some in thier Bargain Cave section: Cabela's -- Short-Sleeved Shirts

I recently picked up a couple of these from Duluth Trading Co., which I like a lot, though they are pretty heavy and will probably be too hot when it gets to July or August: Men's Short Sleeve Untuckable No-Polo w/Pocket - Duluth Trading Company

I cruise by the local closeout/discount clothing stores once a month, too, and look for straight-hemmed work shirts, etc.

I do fine in regulars, but some like to get the talls, which provide a little extra coverage, depending on one's build.

I'm in AZ, and 8 months of the year it's light clothing. I carry mostly with belt (OWB) holsters, and either a full-cut dress shirt or a T-shirt one size larger than usual - both worn untucked - offer all the concealment I need. Darker colors are best because any lumps from the gun will appear as shadows on light-colored shirts. Remember, people don't expect you to be armed, so to 99% of the people you'll pass, a slight lumpiness or bulge under a shirt won't trigger seem unusual.

I've dressed like this since I was 15 years old, so making the transition to concealed carry was a breeze for me, and I am able to wear OWB holsters with minimal printing. Only those who look hard enough will be able to tell something is under my shirt.

IWB, I usually just wear a t-shirt.
OWB, I will wear a t-shirt and any printed, button up shirt I have.

Just remember to buy 1 size larger shirts and you are good to go.
