My only thing with Blackhawk and 5.11, is that if you see anyone wearing it, you know they are carrying. Police would spot you a mile away. I would imagine the smart criminals would do the same. I prefer tall sized "civilian" clothing anytime I can get it.

Another thing I found out by accident was to get fitted for suits while wearing your firearm, or at least your holster, if you are going to carry IWB. I was out with the wife one night, found out I needed to get a new suit, she talked me into walking into the store on a whim, and there I was, getting measured before I realized I forgot to disarm.

I said really quietly to the salesman, "Hey man, I know you are already measuring me, but I need to be honest with you. I have a CHL, and I think I need to run back to my car really quickly. I don't want to make you or anyone in here uncomfortable..."

He interrupted, "You're not a cop?"

"No," I replied.

"No problem. I've actually been wanting to get mine..." He then asked me a million questions about the test, costs, laws, etc.

This is now my best fitting suit by far, especially when carrying IWB.

I have a ton of Old Navy tall shirts that I've bought online. Cabela's also has pretty good button up options in tall sizes. Blackhawk and 5.11 are great if you can find them at a discount.
