Quality clothing helps. Duluth makes a variety of nice short sleeve shirts that are heavier material, but still breathe well in heat and are longer.
I'm partial to Caarhart but that's just me

Just admit it, you're looking for an excuse to wear a fanny pack!
Have to 2nd the Crossbreed.
Had no one heard of Hawaiian shirts?
IWB sucks for me. I dont like it, i don't do it.
A loose fitting shirt does the trick for owb. Hawaiian shirts are great because the pattern hides any bulge from the gun. Even a plain shirt is OK, because people don't notice things.
Maybe it's just me but... Every time I read these "open carry" discussions I always remember what an old friend (police lieutenant, 'Nam vet, and "street vet", etc) told me years ago and I've never forgotten it, to "Always try to think like a criminal - since there's so friggin many of them on the planet".... and imagine you are a lowlife looking around a convenience store/bar/liquor store bank/etc etc with full, absolute intent on getting the $$ now, today, at this moment, no matter what. Even if in your high/demented/evil state of mind that means having to kill someone today.... and as you're casing the place, about to draw, you notice a citizen who is open carrying....Where/who are your first couple of shots gonna be aimed at?
I know, I know, there's the "deterrent" factor where the scumball MIGHT wet his drawers seeing that someone else besides the owner or barkeep might have a weapon, but,for me, the element of surprise works pretty well in life. And nothing is more "surprising" than to be - unexpectedly - staring at the gaping muzzle of a .45 in the hand of some dude you thought was just in the store to buy the paper and a pack of smokes. Hence, I carry IWB, pocket, ankle.... and sometimes "all of the above" [emoji6].

I love Hawaiian shirts. ....
I recommend the Hawaiian shirt. Comfortable, light and one size larger than you usually wear with an OWB carry.
75 degrees? I thought this thread was about warm weather . In all seriousness though, I really feel like you're underestimating how easy it is to conceal a firearm carried OWB. I can conceal a HK P2000 in a pancake leather OWB holster with no problem at all just by wearing a casual button down shirt or polo shirt.Basically I don't want to loose too much comfort however I'll eventually have to loose the "cover garment" once it gets above 75 degrees, which in my case is a hoodie over a t shirt.
For a minute there is thought you said vagina tuck.
Hawaiian style doesn't mean flowers and doesn't have to be silk.
Yup. Mine are cotton.
Then you have to iron them or they look like hell. no thanks.
