Woolrich has a nice short sleeve with magnets for lower buttons and nice cutouts in the tail. It's called the Discreet Carry. See:

Thanks Moxie. Looking more for an undergarment shirt. Something similar to the 5.11 tactical holster shirt.

In colder weather I wear long sleeve button up flannel, two front pockets. The pockets don't do anything for CC, but I like the pockets.
In the summer I wear short sleeve button up shirts. Again with two pockets, but that's because I just like them. I can wear them for anything from work, working in the fields, hanging around the house, or going out.
Un tucked and you can carry anything.

I've tried a couple of CC shirts and vests including the ones that the NRA advertize, none of them worked out for me. Then I looked at a denim Carhartt vest that I already had. Put it on and slid my 9c into the inside pocket and it literally disappeared. It's in the perfect position (at least for me), and no holster involved. I can't get it to fall out unless I go fully inverted (and that's not happening very often at this stage in my life
). So I sent all the ones I ordered back and now use the Carhartt exclusively. In case anyone's interested, their model number is 14806, and no, I don't work for them.

Admittedly Cycle use is a specialized application , so this is slight drift to general wear.
I prefer to carry on belt , and use the clothing to conceal rather than hold the gun per se . For several years Wally World sold the Dickies brand Camp Shirts , and these were ideal. Loose cut , square tails , and fabric with a little more body to it than the actual Hawaii style shirts. Variety of patterns suitable for casual to semi-respectable wear. Sadly discontinued , I still look for them at thrift stores. Several of the on purpose "ccw shirts" should be as good , but at several times the price.
The Dickies work shirts are also loose , and have extra long tails. Conceal great , but not as suitable for dressier occasions.
Vests ( and fanny packs for that matter ) depend on the setting and your mode of dress otherwise. I frequently wear vests in regular life, so it blends in on me. I have seen people in nice office attire with tactical vests which looked to ne like a neon billboard. Fanny packs ( disregarding discussions of speed ) would blend in if you looked like you were either fishing , on a 10mi hike , or obvious tourist.
