    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...

                                    I don't know..
                                    Is that so wrong?

                                    my current rotation consists of the following-

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

                                      Making bread is manly af. You can burn yourself, and it’s basically chemistry. I started baking with buns and sweet doughs, so sourdough is a step up for me in that respect. The idea of moisturising makes my teerh itch though.

                                        I wear my belt under when possible because it really helps fit to have an extra belt loop in that location. I sometimes wish there were one on both sides!
