Built for Everyday Carry: The Ultimate Guide to JX Tactical T-Shirts
Why What You Wear Matters for Concealed Carry
Concealed carry isn’t just about your firearm or holster — it’s about the full setup that supports both. The right shirt can make carrying more comfortable, improve concealment, and enhance your confidence day in and day out.
At JX Tactical, we know that the shirt you wear plays a key role in how your EDC gear performs. That’s why our tactical t-shirts are designed with both function and comfort in mind — whether you’re carrying concealed, hitting the range, or just representing the JX brand.
Our lineup includes heavy cotton shirts that offer structure and support for concealed carry and soft cotton shirts made for comfort, casual wear, and lifestyle appeal.
The Role of T-Shirts in Concealed Carry
A good concealed carry shirt does more than cover your firearm — it helps you move naturally without printing or discomfort.
- Material structure: A thicker, more durable shirt helps hide outlines from holsters and gear.
- Fit: A proper cut provides enough room for comfortable movement while keeping a clean look.
- Durability: Frequent wear and range use demand materials that hold up over time.
At JX Tactical, our t-shirts are made with those needs in mind — blending everyday comfort with practical EDC performance.
Heavy Cotton T-Shirts: Built for Concealed Carry
Our heavy cotton shirts are the go-to for serious carriers who want structure, coverage, and longevity.
Why We Recommend Heavy Cotton for Carry:
- Enhanced Concealment: The thicker material helps prevent printing — ideal when carrying IWB holsters like the Fat Guy Holster® or IWB 2.0.
- Durable Construction: Holds shape and resists wear even after frequent use and washing.
- Sturdy Feel: Feels substantial on the body, helping your holster and belt system blend naturally under the shirt.
- Ideal for Range or Daily Wear: Great for concealed carriers who also train regularly.
These shirts are perfect for pairing with your JX Tactical holster and Kore Essentials belt — the added structure supports your carry system while keeping you cool and confident.
Available Designs:
- JX Tactical Logo Tee – Clean, bold, and instantly recognizable.
- Fat Guy Holster Design – A favorite among our customers, celebrating the original holster that started it all.
- JX American Flag Design – Patriotic and durable, perfect for range days or everyday wear.
Using JX Tactical T-Shirts as an Undershirt
In addition to being worn on their own, JX Tactical t-shirts also work exceptionally well as an undershirt layer between your holster and your body, especially when wearing a shirt or sweatshirt over it.
Wearing a JX Tactical shirt as an undershirt helps:
- Reduce Hot Spots: Creates a soft barrier between your skin and the holster, minimizing rubbing and pressure points.
- Improve All-Day Comfort: Especially beneficial for extended carry, long workdays, or seated positions.
- Manage Sweat: Helps absorb moisture and keep your holster area more comfortable throughout the day.
- Enhance Concealment: A smooth base layer allows your outer shirt or sweatshirt to drape more naturally over your carry setup.
Both heavy cotton and soft cotton options can be used as undershirts, depending on your preference for structure or softness.
Soft Cotton T-Shirts: Comfort Meets Everyday Style
While our heavy cotton shirts are ideal for concealed carry, our soft cotton t-shirts focus on comfort and all-day wearability.
Why Customers Love Our Soft Cotton Shirts:
- Lightweight Comfort: Perfect for casual days, gym wear, or when you’re not carrying.
- Lifestyle Fit: Combines the look of a classic tee with a soft, lived-in feel.
- High-Quality Print: The same bold JX Tactical graphics you know and love — just on a more relaxed fabric.
- Versatile Style: Great for layering under jackets or wearing on their own.
Soft cotton t-shirts are the go-to choice for off-duty days, relaxing at home, or repping the JX brand at the range or out with friends.

Pairing Shirts with Your Carry Gear
How you dress affects how you carry. Pairing the right shirt with the right gear can make all the difference in comfort and confidence.
- Heavy Cotton + IWB Holster Setup: Combine with the Fat Guy Holster® or IWB 2.0 for ideal concealment and comfort.
- Soft Cotton + Casual EDC Setup: Pair with the Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt for an easy, relaxed fit that still supports your gear.
- Range Day Setup: Wear any of our JX Tactical shirts with Kore Belts and OWB holsters like the Sportster for all-day stability.
Each setup keeps your carry discreet and secure while showcasing your style and support for the JX Tactical brand.
Care & Fit Tips
While both shirt styles are designed to last, here are a few tips to keep them looking their best:
- Wash Cold, Hang Dry: Preserves graphic prints and prevents shrinkage.
- Avoid Harsh Detergents: Use mild soap to protect the cotton fibers.
- Check Fit: If you prefer a tighter concealment fit, stick with your regular size. For a looser feel, size up — especially for range days.
A well-fitted shirt improves both comfort and concealment.
Conclusion: Wear Your Carry With Confidence
Everyday carry isn’t just about what’s inside your waistband — it’s about what’s outside, too. The shirt you wear affects how you carry, how you conceal, and how you feel.
Whether you choose the heavy cotton concealed carry t-shirt for structure and coverage or the soft cotton tee for comfort and everyday wear, JX Tactical shirts deliver the quality, fit, and pride that define your carry lifestyle.
