I don't make any special provision for a nice belt, and as its a button retention holster, it's still pretty speedy to draw. I find myself reliant upon fleece pullovers for concealment. That concerns me, as I will stand out and sweat until I pass out come summer. I don't think that a t-shirt would hang low enough to conceal the OWB paddle.

I got two nice (or at least expensive) Galco belts and an IWB holster. I can't pack an extra mag easily with that holster and I worry that sweat will ruin it or ruin the firearm in it if worn at the wrong time. I have not carried with the IWB setup yet, as I think that it would require a coat.
TALL Tee shirts from any "Big and Tall Store" (Sized like XLT (I got one at JC Pennys>> in the Big and TALL shop area>> reduced from $20 to $12 to $4 a couple weeks ago as they closed out "Summer" clothing on sale ) ...


or the 3" longer "LongTail" "Plumbers Butt" (Duluth Trading term) Tee shirts ($9 to $25.00) are several inches longer length than regular Tee shirts... "LongTail" also called Long Tail Tshirts ... Long Tail Tee shirts

Also some call them an "Elongated Drop Tail Long T-Shirt" http://www.zumiez.com/catalogsearch/res ... g+tail+tee
I buy these and I carry IWB. I like them because with my belly they stay tucked in when I need them tucked in (you can buy polo style shirts in the same longer style). You will have zero problems hiding the length of an OWB holster with the tall style shirts. Now the downside is you have more fabric to clear before you can get to the gun. So before you redo your wardrobe, buy one shirt and see how it works for you.
