      Absolutely only wear it under the patch.

      Out with the new! In with the old!

          For me it depends on which belt I'm wearing that day, my brown 02 is slightly longer so goes over whereas the shorter black 02 goes under, simple as that!

            why would anyone even wear it over? isn't the thick leather patch meant to be shown? and btw i don't even remove my belt … ever ... it's easier to just leave it on the jeans and under to keep it safe and secure.

                  Definitely under.  First pair of jeans that I've ever owned that gave me an option of doing so.  Would be a sin to cover up that thick leather patch if you ask me.

                    If the jeans let me, I go under. They obviously wanted me to do it that way

                      way to pull all those images adam313.  seems a valid argument could be made with a little bit of evidence to support it.

                      despite anyone's personal reasons, i do love that folks are so serious about the way they wear & treat their goods

                        when i first got my 634S, i wore it under. but then the stitching began coming off so its over now. plus a bit of evo is always good.

                        once i get the stitching fixed and some decent evo, i'll go back to under.

                          Ive been looking for this very thread for awhile, and today I found it.
                          Ive alway been an OVER guy for as long as Ive worn pants.
                          Even with certain models that allowed you to go under, for some reason I never liked the idea of being a billboard for companies with all their branding.
                          That changed with my first pair of IH 666 21`s that I got two weeks ago.
                          I am now wearing my belt UNDER for the simple fact that these patches are really like art.

                                  Why even bother with a belt at  5:00 ? Ha

                                        I almost do that but I like having a lot of jeans in rotation. I also have four belts and have been known to consider how to pair belts and jeans with boots and jackets. Sometimes I am a little ashamed of myself…. I’ll start moisturising next...

                                            Is that so wrong?

                                            my current rotation consists of the following-

                                            IH-666S-21….but looking to expand;)
