Abstract: A cable controlling shirt system having a shirt with a front, a back, a neck area, a waist area, armholes, an interior surface, and an exterior surface. A channel patch has an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The side edges are coupled to the shirt. The channel patch and the shirt form a channel with an open upper end and an open lower end. At least one pocket has an upper extent and a lower extent. Pocket stitching couples the lower extent of the pocket to the shirt at an elevation below the channel patch.
