5.11 Tactical Men's Covert Select Shirt, Short Sleeve, Style 7119

After looking at, and thinking about these 5.11 shirts for a long time, I finally decided to spring for one and try it. I'm glad I did! The 5.11 Covert shirt is extremely comfortable and breathes very well. It also serves its intended purpose of assisting in concealment perfectly - especially if you get the plaid or print.There are inside pockets on each breast, made of mesh and held shut with Velcro. Not suitable for concealing a weapon, but good for tucking away other small flat items. I haven't used them yet, but they seem to be practical enough. The sides are relieved with high slits that are held with Velcro also. These can provide easy access to a hidden sidearm. Last but not least, are the snaps - yes, snaps not buttons. There are no buttons on this shirt, except at the very top (the one you would likely leave open) - but the snap tops look exactly like buttons, right down to the false threads in the button holes. The shirt can be pulled open easily and one handed to access your concealed firearm quickly.These shirts are not cheap - which is why I waited so long to try one. But they are of the highest quality and very practical. The sizes seem to run true - my medium is a good medium by my standards. I highly recommend these shirts and will be buying more. I hope they will expand the options of colors and patterns over time.

I really like these shirts but they do fit bigger so order a size down and they should be fine. I normally wear a size large shirt. I had to send the first one back and get a smaller medium size which was a perfect fit. I like these shirts so much I ordered sever more in different colors.

Shirt appears to be of good quality, as what I have come to expect from 5.11. Colour I ordered is that of burnt orange/terracotta.I'm only rating this 3 stars because of its quality. Not sure how I missed this prior to ordering but anything that is Dry Clean Only is a no-no for me. Yes there are advantages to DCO attire, so if yer hitting the dirt &/or running n' gunning, this will remain clean and looking its best for quite a while. However the disadvantages are cost & time when Dry Cleaning...The second star came off due to it's fit. Always the risk when ordering clothing off the interwebs. This is a Covert break-away style shirt with snapped front (faux buttons, minus the stitched vertical slits btw, so it actually looks a little hokey), so the cut is long, a little longer than I expected for an XL which is my typical sizing for these types of shirts with no issues. However at 5'9" & a muscular 200lbs with wide shoulders, I had to double check if the sizing was completely wrong or a Tall and the shirt was simply miss-tagged. Nope, "5.11 Tactical Series XL Covert Shirt Select, #458 Terracotta" with the message inside stating "Designed with a longer cut for concealed carry"..That ain't no joke, standing at attention, the shirt hangs below the point if my fingers were outstretched. Approximately 4" below the tip of a full size 1911 5" Operator hung in a low OWB holster in the vertical position to be exact. So for me, it could do with 1 less button and hemmed 2 inches up.

I paid around $18 for this shirt and at that price feel it was a good value (now I see some of them are lower). It doesn't scream 'tactical' even though the name does. The fit is somewhat boxy but that's too be expected. I wish the arms were slightly less loose but to be honest that might make the proportions seem off. It might be worth going down a size unless you are wanting the loose fit for owb or a large item. The material feels comfortable. The snaps are a little 'tight' but that might be a good thing.

I'd give this shirt a 4.5Pros:1. This shirt is COMFORTABLE. This is the most comfortable shirt I have ever worn in my life.2. Nice length for conceal carry or tall people. (Easily conceals a large hunting handgun)3. I've been washing in the washer (not dry cleaning) and it looks/feels fine.4. concealment pocket on the chest is invisibleCons:1. If you want to come across as unarmed, this is not the shirt for you. The material looks cool, but up close it looks rough and tactical … cool but not covert. This shirt (in black at least) will not pass up for an innocent business-casual option for work. If you want to look like a bad target while walking your dog, this is a good shirt.2. This is a good shirt but I feel it is slightly overpriced.3. The buttons are a bit too hard to press/undo for a tactical situationI've noticed the sizes vary with 5.11. If you sometimes fit 3XL and sometimes fir 2XL you will want to go with the 2XL.Bottom Line: If you want a comfortable shirt that's a bit rough looking and you don't mind looking a bit tactical, then this is a good shirt for you. If not sure what size to get, get the smaller size.

Needed some new tactical shirts but I refuse to pay the usual price. Came across this on sale and it is exactly what I wanted, at a reasonable price. Has a silky feel and a nice finish. Bought it as a work shirt but it’s going into the date-night rotation.

Great shirt!For true to size, good quality, fast ship ping. Can’t get any better off looking for a quality shirt for concealed carry without looking like 5-0.

I wore the shirt once and laundered it. The "snaps" (no buttons) all came apart. I contacted the seller through the Amazon system and got no response at all. The shirt is good but the workmanship/quality are nothing to brag about. Since I cannot return it I'll just spend some more money to get the poor quality parts replace with good stuff. I won't buy from this seller again.
