Men's shirts with cell phone pocket

For the last couple of trips I ended up getting some Scottevest T-shirts with a special hidden pocket for my iphone. Although the concept is ok, in practice they don't work so well. The phone sits in a pocket under your armpit and tugs on the collar. Kinda uncomfortable. So I've been on the lookout for some men's shirts with a chest pocket with either a zipper or velcro tab. I found some short sleeved sports shirts once at Sears that worked fine until I got the new, bigger Iphone 6. Now I can't find anything that would work . . . .and I've been looking . . . for quite some time. Would anyone have some suggestions for maybe some online retailers.

sounds like an opportunity for Jony Ive to design the iShirt

No specific suggestion, but you might look into tactical clothes made for police, security, etc. I think 511, Quartermaster, Blackhawk, and others might have something.

Ha! Just about to reply to your question when I followed through Christi's link. My husband had a couple of shirts he purchased at the local Columbia outlet store. Worked very well. Velcro closure. My son has them now and wears them all the time. Easily "washed and worn" for traveling.

My husband has several of these Eddie Bauer shirts. They have both long and short sleeved versions of the shirt. They handle hand washing very well, and dry quickly. Plus, I don't feel like they look like a travel shirt.

I use these type shirts for travelling , I have long sleeve and short sleeve versions. hidden zip pocket on chest perfect for my iphone. Don't know if you can get them where you are but I am sure the outdoor shops will have something similar.
