This discussion is about finding shirts that are long enough to discreetly cover an ostomy bag. The challenge is to find shirts that fit well in the chest and shoulders while being long enough to cover the pouch, without being so long that they look like a dress. Cost is also a factor, as the goal is to find practical options rather than expensive fashion pieces.

Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. The poster has ruled out UNTUCKit shirts due to their high price and potential shortness for covering an ostomy bag. They currently use affordable Dickies tees and flannel shirts from discount stores but are open to other options.

2. In the UK, some high-street brands offer shirts that might be the right length, such as Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Cotton Traders, and Fat Face. However, the length will still depend on the height of the stoma.

3. For premium cotton options, 100% cotton shirts, especially Egyptian cotton, are recommended for their softness and opacity. Spanx offers stretch T-shirts that can help flatten the pouch, making them a good choice for going out. The website deadgoodundies.com is another source for long, supportive under-layers and tees.

4. In the U.S., work and outdoor brands like L.L.Bean and Duluth Trading are noted for their generous body length and durable fabric. L.L.Bean’s “Carefree Unshrinkable Tee, Traditional Fit, Short-Sleeve” is one option, and Duluth Trading is mentioned for its potential to provide extra length, though it hasn't been tried yet.

5. Athletic and performance wear brands like Under Armour offer T-shirts and button-up casual shirts with extra torso length without excessive width. Some members have had long-term success with this brand.

6. For a casual dress option, UNTUCKit shirts were considered, but their high price and uncertain length for pouch coverage remain concerns.

7. General fit strategies include:
- Tucking the shirt in, which works for those comfortable with a visible bump.
- Buying one size up in a PETITE length to gain width without extra tail length.
- Adding a sewn-in internal pocket to support the pouch.
- Recognizing that individual factors like stoma height, bag length, beltline, and whether the pouch is worn in or out of trousers mean that some trial and error is unavoidable.
