Here's my initial review of this shirt/holster.
I recently took a full time job and will have to go back to wearing more business professional dress.
I typically carry IWB in casual dress with an untucked button down shirt.
I'm going to have to tuck my shirts in for work now, and my CTAC IWB isn't great for doing that. (clips show on the belt and it the butt of my G19 prints)
I purchased a 5.11 tactical holster shirt from USPatriotstore

Pros:
* I can conceal a G19 in a dress shirt with no issues.
* The pockets are very deep. You can use this shirt for spare mags, wallets, money whatever.
* The pockets are on both sides so it is ambi-friendly
* The design of the shirt makes it look like an undershirt or a tank-top
* It is a compression shirt so it really sucks close to your body. No loose clothing
Cons:
* Pricy. Some places sell it for over $40.
* ITCHY! It's comfortable after a while, but when you take it off your skin is red where some of the stitching is. I wear an undershirt underneath it and it's fine. I haven't yet tried to wash it to see if it's better, but reading some other reviews, it has not helped.
* Very seldom, the angle of the pistol makes the butt of the grip move forward and may make you look like you have a 3rd nipple. If you carry a smaller frame pistol, or another one with a shorter handle, you probably won't have this problem.
Notes:
* If you are between sizes, order the larger. I'm not the best person to size shirts. I'm always in between a medium and a large. I bough a medium but I think in retrospect I should have gone towards the larger.
