Over here. My harness has a cut away tool on the left shoulder and over keeps my clothes compressed a bit.

Under,if wearing a vest or coat. I put my harness on at the truck but don't  put on my outer layer until ready to climb up and may not put it on until in the tree and start to cool off.

Under.  Like MCNSC, I put it on when I get out of the truck and put my outer layer Asbell wool on after I get in my stand.

I wear mine under my top most garment in winter weather.

One thing, is I'm always aware of not zipping up my collar too tight, in case of a fall.  

I am not sure if that has been mentioned yet...  :saywhat:

Under my outer layer unless in early season and then it is outside.Good point Gator1. Breathing might be a good thing if a fall occurs.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Under for me too.

I like to be able to put my hands in my pockets without having to move the harness around....like having direct access to the chemical hand warmers.

Under here, as well. Like BWD says, the little "hicky doos" can get in the way otherwise.
