Yankee_Self_LoaderMy name is yankee_self_loader, and I'm a suspenders guy
TrackinDaKrakenWith belt of course. But, I also wear a device similar to a skirt cage, I designed and built it myself. It rests on wheels on the floor and attaches to the belt. One can’t be too safe when it comes to trousers.
I’m now considering helium balloons attached to the belt loops.
I’m not brave enough to be a belt and suspenders guy but I am concerned about how I will carry my leatherman without a belt
If you decide you do want to be a belt and suspenders guy, look up Perry suspenders.
They make suspenders that hook under your belt. More reliable than the little metal clips, no buttons to add to your pants, and you still have a place to attach your Leatherman.
I’ve got several pairs and I’ve been pretty happy with them.
That’s victim blaming. Maybe you should consider talking to gravity instead of him.
+1. They are great. I prefer pants with the buttons sewn in rather than the more common steel clamps.
Do you have a good source for those?
I’mma nerd out on you. I sewed them myself.
TheReturnOfPEBThis will only lead to more bow ties.
Like, bowties are cool man.
Can verify. I got a pair for my Super Mario costume, and it felt like someone was following me with their fingers in my belt loops and holding my pants up.
Maybe someday, but I’m not yet ready to be known the suspenders guy.
I’m worried it would change my whole personality. I know I’d do the “simple country lawyer” routine just to be funny at first. Then people would cringe as it became less and less of a joke. One day I’d look in the mirror and realize, “This is who I am. This is who I’ve always been. I am Clarence Thibodeaux. Got my law degree from a gumball machine.”
Reminded me of complicated lawyer
I'm Just a Complicated Country Lawyer ⚖️
That’s because you are very perceptive. It is a direct reference to a Dropout interpretation of the simple country lawyer trope. While I love complicated lawyer, I based my comment more on the Willy Wonka’s lawyer version:
Willy Wonka's Lawyer
I tried suspenders once. The problem was when my pants were tailored I was 15 pounds heavier so by the time I tried to wear the suspensers with the pants, it just pulled my pants up uncomfortably. I had to ditch em.
I’m pretty drunk and stoned right now so I can’t tell if you’re joking. Sorry. That doesn’t sound like a suspenders problem. They hold pants up, not down. Have you considered adjusting the length of the shoulder straps?
They held my pants up too well, that was the problem. The suspensers were stretchy and no matter how I adjusted them it was still pulling up too much.
Too small. You had the kids size.
My pants pulling up into my crotch is no joking manner. I’m not trying to say all suspenders are bad, just sharing my one experience with wearing them. I probably had the wrong type and was probably wearing them wrong but I was getting married in an hour so I had to take the suspensers off and wear a belt.
A wise decision.
lime!i had a suspenders phase, but now i use them mostly for work pants. i have a pair with those suspender-specific buttons but i ordered them in the wrong size so they were way too big when i got them and now that i’ve lost like 20 pounds they are probably most accurately described as “cavernous”. i should try them on again.
Every couple of years deciding to make a specific article of clothing my new personality
I went through a suspenders phase when I was wearing suits on a regular basis. They’re both comfortable and another way to flash a little color when men’s fashion is so boring.
But it never occurred to me that you could wear them with other types of pants. Can you? These days I regularly wear khakis: are they appropriate? How about jeans?
s3rvantI’m a khakis guy and recently switched to suspenders, specifically the kind meant to be worn under the shirt, and am loving the change. Much more comfortable IMO. I wear polo shirts untucked and people tell me they’d never know I wore them until pointed out.
MinnesotaGoddamwhat are these “under the shirt” suspendies
These are the ones I have:

I wear them with jeans all the time. They are Carhartt brand and quite robustly constructed. I’ve never worn them with khakis.
I’m a dude, with no hips or ass to speak of. Suspenders work with everything.
Me too, I use them with my work pants because I always hated belts. Tried them ironically one day and was like “this is awesome” and never went back.
i was a suspenders guy for a dark time in my life. now i’m a belt buckle guy.
I bought these last year together with “Italian work pants” and “Wool pants” found on the same store! Really upped my way of dressing and had lots of good comments so far!
Fun to combine with old shirts I rarely used.

I prefer these 2-point racerback ones. I like to wear them under my buttondown, though, which makes restrooming difficult.
Looks neat!
Just make sure to use either suspenders or a belt but never both. It’s like double wrapping your dingus, if it can’t be done right the first way, the second way isn’t going to improve the situation, so if done correctly, the second way is redundant.
I got suspenders (because the store was literally out of belts) for my work pants that use the worst claw clamp mechanism I have ever seen.
There is like a 5mm gap between the teeth so I have to fold my work pants belt line double and still if it experiences more than 0.1N of force, it will just fly off. I finally got a cheap 2nd hand belt.
