Carry Garment Options

What do you guys wear while carrying on your hip either OWB or IWB? I usually find that Tshirts don't always fit the bill or concealing my Kimber 4". In the climate I live in jackets aren't really an option most of the year. I also think that those "photographers" vest that are usually recommended are too conspicuous. Any Ideas?

I like the longer, more casual looking polos. I usually get them 1 size larger than I wore before I carried.

I wear Hawaiian Shirts all year, untucked and unbuttoned. They don't all have crazy print schemes, but the pattern of the shirt is one that lends itself well to concealed carry. Another option for me is an untucked/unbuttoned work shirt, since I wear either Carhartt work pants or shorts 90% of the time I'm off duty.

Another good option:

I do this when I have to look "presentable".

These are my favorite cover shirts. They're very light and thin, so they're good in the summer. And they're cheap.

I have t-shirts and polo's that I use as cover garments, just buy them one size bigger. Or a button up short sleeve shirt worn unbuttoned over top of a t-shirt works too.

Open flannel shirt in the winter, open loud Hawaiian shirt in the summer. Both with a color coordinated t-shirt underneath of course.

Untucked T-shirts or Hawaiian shirts.

I like the Hawaiian's better the different paterns tend to draw attention away to my OWB carried G22.
