Adopting the “Grey Man” mentality is a great way to fly under the radar when you’re carrying. Non-descript clothing that doesn’t draw attention to you will help you blend in to the crowd.
But sometimes, non-descript clothing makes you stand out. In summer, a Hawaiian shirt may be just what you need to play it cool.
Don’t have one, have I considered one, yes.
Not my style 
I bought one 10 years ago, probably for fun, but never wore it.
This is 1/10 of my collection, I own the closet! Some people (wives) have thousands of shoes, I have hundreds of Hawaiian shirts. I live in an extremely hot environment and furthermore every time I leave the house I look like a tourist. My area and job are supported by the tourism industry.
Plus I gained a love for a Hawaiian shirts while living in Hawaii. They are extremely comfortable and you can’t tell I’m carrying an M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon. “Belt fed” under my shirt. I recommend cotton and batik over rayon.
I’ve been running Hawaiian shirts since the “photographers vest” became a dog whistle for “he’s got a gun”. There are also shirts from PR and the PI that I can never seem to remember the name of. Light, cotton or silk hang down below the tops of your bluejeans pockets and cover bang sticks very well if IWB.
I have “traditional” Hawaiian shirts where the full color “pattern” is sewn inside out to give it a subdued look as well as some really loud obnoxious ones that I use to hide in plain sight.

I’d wear a Hawaiian shirt except I can’t grow a good Tom Selleck moustache.
@Ouade5 Magnum didn’t make the shirt the shirt made Magnum.
Since the Wuhan Flu my hair and beard have gotten so long that my wife said I am starting to look like Jeff Bridges “The Dude” or mebby Sam Elliot (I’ve been told by more than one that I sound like him and have a great radio voice). I have more hair on my head now than I did when I was in High School (I went in the 80’s) if I pull it all back and grab it I can feel hair on the other end of my fist which conceptually means I can have a pony tail. I’m half debating not getting a hair cut until Normal returns just to see how long I can get it since I’m past the part that usually causes me to get it cut off.

Wore my USCCA Hawaiian shirt the other day. It’s in the laundry so no picture. 
I grew up in South Florida. So, I had the obligatory collection of Hawaiian shirts and colorful ties … until I moved to Dallas and got married. Now, the Boss (from AZ) has disappeared the Hawaiian shirts and forbids my wearing of tasteful ties on Sunday.
Somehow, I have grown up to be an old fuddy-duddy.
@Robert_D3 you’re not supposed to grow up. If you want to feel like a kid again wear the ties and the shirts on the down low.
I love Hawaiian shirts, and have enjoyed my visits to the islands…however I have a confession to make…I have outgrown those shirts, and my puka shells are too small. My magnum stache is grey. The good news is that my pony tail is getting longer.
Craig sir…mebby we can start a thread of the pony tail frolicking dudes!!! Lol lol
Great point! Grey man is different in different areas. I’d stand out like a sore thumb with a Hawaiian shirt… Somehow @KevinM can pull off just about any look including the Hawaiian shirt!
Do you remember @KevinM showing his Hawaiian shirt last year? Do you know how many handguns he was able to conceal?
Here he is:
That’s the exact video that convinced me to join USCCA!
