    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

                  My belt stays in my jeans even when I am not wearing them…..

                      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!

                                Im watching you "Bread Guys Baking Bread" and am thinking to myself–
                                "These Guys are Ali like science and shit up in here" but at the same time...nothing but respect for all of you that are in it!

                                    Combo sunscreen/moisturizer every day for the last 20 years. After I got a bad sunburn on my freshly shaved, pasty white head once in college I decided that was not something I ever wanted to happen ever again.  Straight sunscreen smells too strongly and is usually greasy and unpleasant, so here I am…

                                    Oh, and like Giles, I leave my belt in my jeans at all times (under the patch).

                                      Under. Seems like it would be uncomfortable wearing it over because the leather is so thick, and why on earth would anyone want to cover up these glorious patches? It makes me crazy that the 14oz and 16oz denim doesn’t use the thick leather patches, for that very reason.

                                        I’m with @xtcclassic on the lighter weight Jean patches, even a mildly thicker one would really tempt me. In terms of belt, always, always under the patch, the patches are a signature element of the heavier weight jeans that I’ve no issue displaying.

                                          Me too… definitely prefer the thicker open ones.
