I love wearing fishing shirts when i carry since it helps keep me cool. Depending on the brand, some allow me to carry OWB with no worries of any sort of printing.
I like the Magellans. Except every time I wear one people ask me "are you going fishing" or "did you catch anything".

Only tradeoff is that the fabric is SO light that a mild breeze can blow it up to reveal the pistol, so I just button one button when I'm out in the wind.
I have some of these shirts too, both short and longsleeved, and they work great for concealed carry.

I have a Filson Travel Vest that I like to use if I have to fly; I put all my stuff in the pockets and keep it all together through security. I sometimes use it as a cover garment, too. If anyone has ever given it a second thought, they haven't said anything. I have to admit, if it 'screams gun' to another CHL holder or to an LEO, I really don't care. I think most people just aren't going to notice, in a casual setting, at least; and I don't think your average miscreant is thinking that far ahead.
For sure. Some have said my western vest scream gun too. I aint beeen shot yet neither..
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

OH, they might see it, but you have that badge thingie.
Maybe I should get a CHL badge?
TBH I often don't wear my badge because I'm too lazy to remove it and reinstall it from the uniform. Since I wear the vest under the uniform shirt, I can get a few shifts out of a shirt.
Usually on my 3 day weekends I'll bring it home, and I'll wear it to crowded areas.

Thanks for the link. Those are....different. A lot of them look sheer/transparent too. Seems like that wouldn't work out so well with the concealed part.

There was an old post about the Guayabera shirt. I am an not an expert, but I think that it refers to the style or cut, not the shear fabric. viewtopic.php?f=53&t=47583&p=582065&hil ... ra#p582065" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This one looks like it would be perfect for an Aggie CHLer.
I'd recommend trying them on at a uniform store or something before ordering them online, though, because for whatever reason all the styles of shirts are cut completely different.
The two-tone ones are cut like a size larger compared to the standard work shirts, for example.
