Dave, Once again you do a great job of explaining the suspender attachments. You break down how they attach, the materials they are made of, and the different scenarios in which you would want to wear them. "Keep hanging in there"!
Thanks so much. I bought the last type and had no idea how I was supposed to use them. The shopkeeper told me the leather loop was to thread my belt through but I knew that had to be wrong!
Are there any types of attachments that just use fabric to loop through the belt loop and then attach back onto the suspender via a button? Or just an existing loop at the bottom of the suspender that you can run your belt through, thereby you don't have to buy pants with buttons on them?
I just need some suggestions on suspenders that might work for me in a manual labor type situation. I'm a quite large fellow and belts often dig into my belly. I have also used suspenders in the past though not all of the types shown here and clip types won't work. I'm large enough that a small amount of motion would put enough stress on the suspenders to cause them to slide off. I'm hoping I can find some that might work for me and it's difficult to see all the clips shown in this video as only a few apparently had close ups. I'm wondering if there's a pair of suspender that would latch onto belt loops since clips would just slide off and I can't wear a belt.
What are the differences in occasion and formality of runner end vs. moustache/rabbit ear? Are runner ends more casual? I have a black tie wedding coming up.
Hi! Both work equally well and both are viewed as formal. I think that many would actually feel that the Runner End is slightly more formal that the others, as it is more rarely used. Hope that helps!
Well, I've got this suspender with a type of attachment which wasn't mentioned in this video. I've got it for a year now and I still don't know how to use it.
Hi Minn, please give us a call at 800-393-4508 in the USA and we can help you figure it out. Or email us a picture of it to info@suspenderstore.com and we can help that way too.
I recently bought a pair of Y Back suspenders from Nordstrom Rack for $20 good quality. However when wearing them; the straps seems to loosen themselves from the clips. The clips remain attached to my pants but the suspender straps become loose. Is this a rare case or does this happen often? Should I return them? Or, how may prevent this from happening?
Hi - thanks for checking in! This is not a problem we've heard from our customers, but my best guess is that the elastic stretches out. There are different qualities of elastic - perhaps the suspenders you bought from Nordstrom Rack used a low quality elastic? Our standard elastic suspenders feature nice quality elastic straps and the suspenders in our work suspender line (www.suspenderstore.com/shop-by-material/non-low-stretch-work-suspenders/) feature heavy duty/low stretch elastic or non-stretch straps made of polypropylene - both of which are designed with people who wear heavy tools belts in mind but which can be worn by anyone. If you are looking to wear the suspenders with dressier attire, you might opt for a non-stretch dress material like silk or grosgrain instead of elastic. You can shop by Suspender Material from the top nav of our website to view your suspender options based on the type of material used on the front straps. Good luck!

The suspenders with the metal clips will scratch up leather car seats. The airport friendly clips work just fine and don't do damage.

Yes, the trigger snaps. The plastic ones hold phenomenally though and I'd recommend them equally.
Great job; Very well explained. Do you have any store in Ontario, Canada?
Thanks for the kind words! Sorry, no stores anywhere, just an office and a warehouse in Maryland. But we ship to Canada daily!
Please could you let me know do you sell the alligator clips on their own and do you post to the UK
Hello! We do ship to the UK but sorry we do not sell the clips individually.

Did you figure it out? 😅
@@Ajlez Sadly, no. 😟
@@instantgratification3925How about now?

Please
you lost me with belts and suspenders. that cam suspender WILL fail, it's just a matter of time. that is a guarantee.
The plastic cam ones actually hold the best. They are not only more secure, but they are easier to attach and detach.
