    Suggest a t-shirt and work polo for CCW

    Looking for suggestions on brands/styles. My previous t-shirts were fitted so no go. Tshirts I find now still too tight even at Xlrg but they just seem to get longer and not wider at the waist. I carry either appendix or around 330 position. Not a fan of button down shirts but if I have to I suppose I could try them.

    I like Mossy Oak golf shirt, Cabela's White Tail golf shirt, rugby jersey. Summer time, I'm in shorts and golf shirt or jersey everyday

      Lose the fitted shirts and jump up a size larger or longer, or more.

      Choose patterns and colors that break up pistol/holster print.

      Concealed carry is an adjustment and a commitment.

        Duluth Trading Co. longtail T's. Best T-shirt made and an XL is really an XL. I'm 6'2" and 220 and the XL fits great and the extra 3" length is perfect for our cause.

        Buy made in USA whenever possible.

            Thanks I'll check those places. The polo is for work/corp environment. Otherwise I only wear t shirts. besides the width at the waist it seems so many are so thin, a breeze makes you print.

              I don't carry - Contra Costa, y'know - but I like Lands End t-shirts and polos.

                Again dump the thin clingy T-shirts.

                At least , get heavy weight t-shirts that don't print easily and that are long enough for natural movement without the unnecessary reveal...

                  Duluth... tends to run big, I find their XL-Tall polos to be a hair too long, XL fits nicely with a little more room than most XL.

                  Foundry (JC Penny) XLT polos are nice.

                    I never found a tee that I liked for CCW, Looser fit golf shirts work well, especially the modern materials designed to keep you cool - they seem to hang just right. My go-to shirt however are the short sleeve Ely Cattleman shirts. I can carry a Sig P220 in a crossbreed just fine wearing those shirts. Hawaiian shirts work well also, and I always pack at least one on trips where I carry (Utah and Arizona permits, so no carrying at home).

                      Button front shirts allow extra give to allow movement.

                      Cowboy, Hawaiian, camp and golf shirts can all work if they fit your style and your body type.

                      Start by adding one or two to the rotation to see what works.

                      Done right and your girl will never know, which is your first test...

                          LOL I'm trying but after Large sizes they just get longer and I look ridiculous. I'm 5'7" with slightly visible abs, like long walks at the range...

                            +1 I don't wear them much anymore but LE stuff is usually pretty good quality at a decent price.
