Shirt Fabrics for Everyday Carry Comfort

Quick answer

For everyday carry comfort, a cotton-polyester blend gives you breathable softness with the durability and quick-dry performance you need under a holster or pack.

Frequently asked questions

Is cotton or polyester better for EDC?

Cotton is soft and breathable but absorbs sweat and dries slowly. Polyester wicks moisture and dries fast but can trap body heat. A cotton-poly blend (like 60/40) gives you the best of both: softness against skin and quick-dry performance for all-day carry.

What fabric works best under a concealed carry holster?

A smooth, lightweight cotton-poly blend reduces friction and helps the holster sit flat against your body. Avoid thick or rough fabrics that can cause printing or chafing. A 4.7 oz jersey knit tee is a good starting weight. Test your shirt with your holster before committing to a full day. A thin, snug layer prevents bunching.

How do I choose between a regular fit and a modern fit?

Regular fit gives you room for movement and layering under a jacket or vest. Modern fit is trimmer and less likely to snag on gear, but order up a size if you are between sizes. Your holster and body shape will decide which drapes better.
