Additionally, everyone knows that fat guys all wear Hawaiian shirts. Sweet! So people will just think I'm a big fat party guy and not a CHL!

Stroo, thanks for the tip on Haband. They have some rather cool looking Guayabera shirts!

Just got my CHL, and have been practicing with different shirts and pants, with my Taurus 24/7 Pro in a Comp-Tac IWB holster, fastened at about 4 o'clock. I'm 6'4" 240 lbs, with a long torso. I'm up to XXL or XLT shirts, and about a 38-40" waist. I've been noticing that to not cause any problems, it seems that a shirt needs to be a hand's length lower than my belt, and/or go past the end of the muzzle. I can get away with smaller shirts, but once I reach, bend, or sit & lean forward I end up flashing my gun. Problem is, most of my shirts aren't long enough.

The other issue is that I like looser jeans, but with my rather-heavy 9mm, they tend to get weighed down a bit and my belt has to be tightened to quite a level of discomfort. And the sagging pants also brings into play the bigger problem of flashing.

So here's 2 questions, fellow CHLers: Have you found a general rule of thumb for shirts/pants/belts? Second, know any good places to get cheap (but nice) "cabana" style shirts (not polo style, but the button up the middle ones, like Hawaiian shirts but not necessarily with Hawaiian print)?
