Ok, I can tuck my shirt in, and I can even blouse out m shirt enough so that there is no print of a gun..... but it looks ugly, unorganized.. strange. My shoulders are broader than my waist, and when I tuck a dress shirt into slacks without a gun, everything looks nice and slim and neat. I When I blouse the shirt out around the gun, things look strange and I look disproportional. Also, the gun+holster make slacks fall in a strange way, at least in my experimentation. I don't think the holsters are my problem.. I think it has more to do with the vanity factor than anything else. This is one of those occasions I just use an ankle holster.

Yeah, that is pretty much it. And my wife complains about me looking "frumpy" when I tuck a shirt around a gun. Ankle or pocket.. Sad day.

If you've got a holster like a Crossbred and there are two holster clips, so the tuckable while doesn't pattern your gun, it doesn't totally mask that you're carrying.

That's onw of the reasons why I suggest you go with something other than Crossbreed - Comp-Tac and White Horse Holsters both offer velcro clips that fit UNDER the belt, so there's nothing visible to say "hey, I'm armed". The J-hook clips which are also available are a lot less visible than the big black clips that are on the Crossbreed. And, if you want colored clips, to match pants or belt, the Comp-Tac also offers that possibility. All told, there are a lot of ways to hide the fact that you're wearing an IWB.
