I'll stick with calling BS. I can't wear suspenders, I have neck problems. Can't wear bib overalls or bib-type rain pants anymore. I'm ok for a little while but then it starts to hurt ... bad. For some reason, my backpack doesn't do that ... I'm guessing it's a matter of them binding under other clothing like a jacket over the top. If you're going to wear suspenders, I'd head for a loggers supply store. Those are guys who wear 'em and work in 'em so what they sell has to work, not just decorative. Tom

I'm not much of a suspenders fan unless they are holding up some sort of specialized outerwear or bunker pants, but just about all of my entire everyday wear is from Duluth Trading and it's all top-notch schitt. I suspect their suspenders will be the same. Duluth Trading Co.

My wife advised many years ago, I think we were living in Kansas at the time, that if I ever wore overalls or suspenders she was through. I took her quite seriously.

Always chuckle at these threads as "suspenders" over here means something quite different!

I also wear a belt with suspenders. Me too. Safety issue and also, where else would you hang a knife? miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

atvalaska; Thanks for the educational and sometime entertaining thread sir. I honestly never expected a suspender thread to generate what it has. Here in our part of Canada most folk use either loggers suspenders picked up at the chain saw shop or work wear store - I recall seeing a bunch of blaze orange Husqvarna ones - or they use hockey suspenders picked up at a Sportchek type of store. The ones I use/used for years on some surplus Euro army wool pants were maybe $10 hockey suspenders and they've lasted countless washer cycles. Anyway hopefully that was some use to you or someone out there this rainy, almost snowy morning sir. We're off to see if a whitetail buck will stand still for our eldest daughter so I've got to slither off up the mountain now. Good luck on your suspender search as well as any remaining hunts this fall. Regards, Dwayne

I gleaned several web sites with neat stuff from this thread. This is what 24 hour is all about IMO.

Hold Up Suspenders, best ones I've ever used and I've been using suspenders for over 30 years.

Who has a "belly" and uses suspenders?

Suspenders are fer them guys who got a big belly and no ass.
When ya belly gets so big that ya gotta ditch the belt and take up a pair of straps ta hold ya damn britches up, it's time to lay off the pork chops and take up the yogurt.

Speakin' o'which,...as soon as the Thanksgiving festivities are over,..I gotta knock off my annual 20 lbs.
,...had to go up in the attic here while back and dig out my fat britches again.
Didn't used to be much of an issue to knock off 20 lbs,...but once ya hit 50 years old,..you got to eat less than your skinny ass cat to take off any weight.
To make matters worse,...anytime I get below 190 lbs, my wife thinks I'm fixin' ta chit and die and starts draggin' home all kinds of pastries from the grocery store.
It's hard to take off weight when you can turn in all four directions and see a fuggin' do-nut.
,...crazy ass women, anyway.
