Mike Yi Posted November 9, 2021 at 01:15 AM Share Posted November 9, 2021 at 01:15 AM I'm new to carrying. I finally got a holster setup that I can use, however, I absolutely must wear an undershirt when carrying, or the kydex irritates the crap out of my skin. I never wear an undershirt though, and I get hot easily. So I'm looking for a cool t-shirt, or preferably, tank top to wear when carrying. Searching keeps resulting a undershirts that have a built in holster. I don't want that. Do any of you have any suggestions on undershirt to wear when carrying that are cool.

Yas Posted November 9, 2021 at 01:26 PM Share Posted November 9, 2021 at 01:26 PM You could also try a backing of moleskin on the holster. I haven't tried it myself , but know its out there for potential use. https://www.comp-tac.com/moleskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted November 9, 2021 at 02:18 PM Share Posted November 9, 2021 at 02:18 PM Under Armour compression shirts. I wear them year round as a base layer. They really help when it is hot and you are sweaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted November 9, 2021 at 04:30 PM Share Posted November 9, 2021 at 04:30 PM No to t-shirts Yes to undershirts I have one on all year long and very comfy You can then have a t-shirt for your outer garment is its loose. Unless you’re one of those guys who always wear a smedium! Cant remember the brand off hand, but cotton, ribbed, good length, no farmer tan lines if your just sitting around the yard. These used to or maybe still are called “wife beaters”. But mine are all black instead of the white of old years past. It gives good cover for the skin irritation AND adds a dark color to blend with holsters and handguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Yi Posted November 13, 2021 at 08:29 AM Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 at 08:29 AM I've considered doing the moleskin thing. I might go that route for the summer. I'll look into the UnderArmor. I want something that's cooler than a cotton undershirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chgowiz Posted November 13, 2021 at 01:57 PM Share Posted November 13, 2021 at 01:57 PM " I want something that's cooler than a cotton undershirt." That's why I've started buying the Hanes Cool Dri Ts as undershirts. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQFK522/ They dry quickly, stay cool in the summer and won't trap heat/moisture like cotton does. Fairly inexpensive as all-synthetic Ts go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tip Posted November 13, 2021 at 02:40 PM Share Posted November 13, 2021 at 02:40 PM I use these (or similar) they’re cooler than cotton, stay dry, and are comfortable under other shirts and tees. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0899C65TS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmarkla Posted May 18, 2022 at 12:16 PM Share Posted May 18, 2022 at 12:16 PM Check out 32 degrees clothing. 32 Degrees | All Day Comfort. I where this a lot. It is not magic (hot and humid is still uncomfortable) but it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them, but damn, they're hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim123 Posted May 31, 2022 at 10:18 PM Share Posted May 31, 2022 at 10:18 PM If I had to carry that way, I'd go crazy. Make sure they say Flex on them. https://www.target.com/p/wrangler-men-39-s-10-34-relaxed-fit-flex-cargo-shorts-black-38/-/A-84040938?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000023621501&CPNG=PLA_Men%2BShopping_Brand_Competitor|Men_Ecomm_AA&adgroup=SC_Men&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=c&location=9021744&targetid=pla-297230955495&ds_rl=1241788&ds_rl=1246978&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI18j1z-CK-AIVgevjBx3DlwUcEAQYAiABEgLnbfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I mow the lawn without a shirt on and can fit everything I carry in those shorts.

SammysOnion Posted June 23, 2022 at 01:42 AM Share Posted June 23, 2022 at 01:42 AM Hanes is garbage, 2-3 washes and they feel like cardboard on your skin. I tried good fellas (target home brand) after 30+ washes they still feel like a cotton tank top/under shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
