I've seen it a few times. What's the logic? Trying to keep them clean?

Saw a guy once wrap the harness in paper towels and then put them through the epaulets.

Or am I the only one doing it right?

Where do you get your angries at?


Maybe I need to try the shoulder strap through thing... I've shed 2 epaulet holder buttons in 2 trips using the over the epaulet method.
