Concealment options for long torso

I bought a Sig Ultra a few months ago and finally got around to buying an IWB holster. I didn't really see any affordable/durable tucks me holsters from reputable companies that I thought I would like, and I am now faced with a dilemma. I'm 6'1 but I only have a 31" inseam, so I have a very long torso, proportionally. I also live in Texas, and I dress a little on the casual side. The only sustainable option I see is longer t-shirts but I don't want to devote my life to thinking about concealed carry when buying clothes.

Soooo anybody else have this problem and/or have any suggestions? Smaller 380's and micro-compacts are out of the question because I can't shoot them very well. My Sig Ultra is about as small as I am willing to go, but I love it!
 
I got you slightly beat at 6'4" and 32 inseam.

Normal untucked T shirts will cover in waistband well. Also, t shirt tucked in with unbuttoned collared shirt over the gun works too.

The rare times you get to wear jackets down there has the obvious solution.

Ayoob says you need three wardrobes: the guns, the holsters, and the clothes, if you want to carry, you WILL need to consider it with clothing.

Texas law declares Texas to NOT be an open carry state, so you will need to consider "flashing." Flashing is momentarily displaying the gun unintentionally, and people WILL call you in for it because they suck at life. In an open carry state, you make an effort to conceal, and then don't really care.

But, short version, untucked shirt and IWB should work for you.
 
My biggest problem would be the flashing. I don't really like XL shirts that much so large shirts coming above my waistband while I'm reaching for a shelf or stretching is a problem.
 
I wear a black colored wife beater shirt, so if I do show(doesn't matter my state) it doesn't stand out on me.
 
Are you saying in Texas a third party can turn you in for exposing your gun without the officers having seen it?

According to Supreme Court decisions, the officer must witness the infraction.
