I, too,.prefer the Havana style shirts. Most clothing retailers have them and I usually get mine more plain and less prints. I've carried a P229 .40 IWB with no problems. With my p938, most t-shirts shirts with do.

Cargo shorts also work well for that little gun in a DeSantist Superfly.

I was thinking a Leisure Suit would be perfect with platform shoes for concealment. I still have that stuff from the early 80's Also Aviator sun glasses & a mullet hair do?
People will think Im HIP & way ahead of my time. "rlol"

I get paranoid when carrying (printing)...don't know about everyone else but it's hard for me to conceal being "slim fit".

You usually have to adjust your wardrobe to be a little loser to help conceal. However, you will find that most people never ever see a bulge in your clothing as anything and the longer you carry the more you will relax.

I, too, dress around the weapon. When riding bikes with the wife I wear a fanny pack - it is secure and looks "work-out-ish" and fits the activity I'm doing. Semiformal I can tuck in a dress shirt and wear a casual dress coat. All other times I usually just wear an untucked shirt. My wife has even bought "squared tail" shirts or Hawaiian shirts to look nice. I sometimes do wear a so-called "shoot-me-first" vest when I don't care what others think - going to wally world, antique store, etc. As a side note, while you and may guess someone wearing a vest is CHL, 99.9% of the people you meet don't know. Even a BG is probably focused on so many other things than what vest I'm wearing. Don't sweat it. Dress #1 to stay secure and concealed, and #2 for comfort.

I go for the Thug look during winter. Jeans and a big, black, baggie hoodie.

Standard tshirt for me or occasionally a striped polo shirt. I have been wearing around the house for the past month or so. My kids & didn't even notice until she went to cuddle with me. I also found an undershirt helps with any discomfort of the leather digging in my side. (Love handles lol)
