Cool weather carry I have several vests.
I get my mother to square up taylored shirt at the high point on the sides. These really do look quite nice when starched & ironed. I get away w/o tucking a shirt a lot w/ these starched & ironed cottons.

That will work. Stick w/ your style & no will know. Put it on, cover it up & leave it alone.

Sounds like we shop for clothing at the same place! I have found myself looking for new Hawaii fashion at every store we stop in! The brighter the better! :grin:

Ugly shirts can be a destraction, therefore a defensive tool.

And some folks think vests scream GUN. :rolll

I can cover up my 3" 1911 in an Answer holster with just an untucked t-shirt.

With a hawaiian shirt, its completely invisible.

Here in Galveston A Hawaiian shirt is camoflage. Everyone wears them. Its concidered acceptable wear in most churches here. A jacket and tie means only one thing. You're going to court and are probably unarmed.

Where do y'all FIND Hawaiian shirts big enough?

I look everywhere and NOBODY seems to carry 3X! I'm 6'0" and 310# and can't find 'em!
