Inside, but if the patch is sewn all the way around then outside, obviously

if i wanted to have a knife pocket added to my ihxvs777s21 same as the ihb01uhr:
could it be done?
how much trouble would it be? -
^^^^^ Outside whenever possible. A patch sewn on all four sides is never preferred. Why design a rad patch if you're just going to have to hide it behind a belt?
-
@BloodnThunder ..well in my case I want to hide the 40" waist label… i sized up to compensate for the loom-state fabric and shrinkage, although it turns out i really didn't need to. two pretty hot washes and tumble drys have brought things in to a manageable fit but still a bit loose.

This. I love the denim and cut on my 634S-18 but the sewn down patch drives me nuts.

Definitely inside. IMO

Ha! I suppose thats a pretty good reason. Although you being the mountain of a man you are I doubt you'd ever hear anything about it from passers by.

Inside of course but sometimes when in a hurry…...

Q: Does anyone have any experience with the Buzz Rickson M-43 Service Boots? I'm referring to their take on the Steve McQueen "The Great Escape" boots. I'm curious as to thoughts on fit, level of comfort, etc.
Any thoughts/impressions are greatly appreciated!
FWIW, I'm a belt on the outside of the patch guy too…

@Qinhan, I had a pair for a while, I really liked them. the fit/sizing was a bit tricky, they're built on the Munson last so the toe box is pretty wide, and in fact I fit in to a 9.5 instead of my normal 10.5. I would recommend sizing down 1/2 size at least.
The fit in general was comfortable, I would compare thefitlevel of comfort to Viberg service boots.
Here’s a pic of mine when I decided to sell them, I made the “mistake” of dubbing them and I didn’t like the result. I wish I would have kept them natural.

No experience personally but I know Standard & Strange also recommends sizing down 1/2 size from Red Wing size.
-
Cheers @Boyo That’s really helpful. So basically size the same as 2030 last Viberg service boots or are you saying another size down from that? I’m an 8 in Viberg which is about one size down from my regular sneaker size.
These boots are marked E width which I guess by Japanese standards is reasonably wide, as you noted.
Nicely beaten up pair you have there, even with the extra dubbing.

Oh? I didn’t realise standard and strange stocked these. You’re not thinking of the John Lofgren m43 boots are you?
-
Actually @Qinhan, I think you should size down from your Viberg 2030 size at least a 1/2 size. I wear a 10.5 in viberg 2030, and I fit in the Buzz 9.5 ( a 10 might have been better, but I never tried that on)
price aside.. I think the lofgren version would be my pick
