Many start into CC saying,
This is the way I dress so how do I hide a gun.
We call this gunning around your dress.
Consider a change in maybe style or type & begin to think,
Dress around my gun.
If you ever need that thing you will want it BIG, accesable, & reliable.
You will not care at all about cool & comfortable or how you think you look to others.
Respectfully offered for consideration.

I was kind of worried about this, but I haven't found it to be the case. For the most part even slim cut t-shirts seem to be okay if you find the right position and cant to keep the butt of the gun tight against your body and in the spot where your shirt drapes. For skinny people this will be at around 4:30 where your shirt falls away from your back from the curvature of your spine. For bigger people with broad shoulders, it'll probably be closer to 3:00.
I'm carrying my Sig 239 in these pictures, but the doublestack 229 would work just as well. I also find that keeping a magazine holder on the opposite side makes things a lot more comfortable as well as keeping the bulge in your waistband from being noticeable by adding symmetry.
I'm 6'1 / 185lbs with narrow shoulders. Also I didn't make the bed this morning. haha.
