I am trying out AIWB from years of 3:30-4 o clock IWB carry and notice more printing with my regular T shirts and polos in solid colors. What T shirts and polo shirts come in patterns do you wear that are not cotton? I like moisture wicking performance materials but some cotton/poly blends are OK. This would be for summer and warm weather as in colder climates I wear fleece or a coat. Links and suggestions appreciated.
I like the VertX colblack polos. They come with solid colors but they have worked very well for me; light on the shoulders, good length (covers clipped folder in jeans pocket but no longer), raglan sleeves for ease of movement and loose enough (without looking sloppy) for CCW.
Apparently they've added some patterned shirts: http://vertx.com/Search?category=SHIRTS&pagenumber=1
Polos, patterned and poly fabric wicking.

TjMaxx/Ross for Less/Marshall's/Costco/Sam's Club often have patterned wicking polos in the sub 20.00 range on a very frequent basis
Columbia has some patterned polos that are cotton/poly blend. You can also find something similar at Gander Mountain and Academy

This. The fabric wicking from Target are great, I wear them all the time in the summer when not working.Originally Posted by vcdgrips
In winter, I own 3 of these I wear a lot. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939...se-layer-shirt. Comfortable, cheap, look decent and not tight at the bottom for a quick draw (I hate jackets that are tight at bottom because they slow the draw by .2-.3)

Target's Champion C9 whatever-it's-called stuff is great clothing in general. Cheap poly shirts that work well.

Polo brand polo shirts are my favorite for summer EDC, specifically the horizontal stripes version as it helps blend the "bump" aiwb may provide.
Other than that a good button down shirt which is just a bit too large for you should work well.

1 more vote for the Champion brand from Target. Wearing one now. Just be aware the various styles are not cut the same. The striped ones above are cut a bit narrower than the solids. AIWB with my Buddha belly doesn't work with the stripes, but does with the solids.
Arc Teryx, Patagonia, Hurly all make either T shirts, Polos or both in dry fit type material.

I have plenty of T shirts and polos in solid colors. It is just finding something with a nice pattern that isn't crazy expensive in performance material that seems to be more of a challenge. That and not slim,athletic or compression fit stuff that makes it useless for concealment purposes.
