I eliminated the belt loops on my Columbia for the two reasons you mentioned. I think it looks much cleaner without the belt loops.

that exact pic was part of the reason i ordered.... i tried changing the bottom to 1947 style but it was too late jacket was cut and would have been too short

Either way really but the belt loops are part of an iconic look and construction.

I voted to add them but el marro makes a very convincing case against them! For a sleeker, more refined look that's less biker, I would omit them. For a traditional biker jacket (even if you never use a belt) I would keep them.

The belt loops only make sense if you wear a belt with it.

I don't care for the 2" wide Sam Brown belt look. It just dominates the whole jacket, and I think in a way that takes away from it. I think the leather daddies like it because it draws the eye to the groin, but that's just a guess.

I also don't like the belt loops that snap in the middle, because they always get twisted. Either snap them on the top to the body of the jacket, like in the J23/J24, or else leave them solid, or omit them. I think without them, the jacket looks cleaner.

If you do prefer a belt, go with a belt of 1.25-1.5" wide, and solid belt loops. That's my preference for jackets that I'll use for riding.

I don't care for belt loops or a belt on any MC jacket. I ride and for me a belt just gets in the way. So without even loops offers a more simple cleaner classy look for my needs. Sometimes the traditional hardcore cross zip same ole becomes just that. I think El Marro's Columbia has only lost what it didn't actually need. Looks good..!!

Voted no due to how good Marro's looks. I think it's cleaner.
