I wouldn't mind seeing some more videos. I think you explain things pretty well and your personality is great as well hope all is well. How about a video on some of the chores and the up keep you do on your place it looks like a wonderful house.
Absolutely great video Jake I too wish more people would use them I have the opposite problem. I am very thin and have no hips to hold up my pants especially with a tool belt on. Great explanation on the buttons.
Great Stuff I enjoyed Both of your suspender videos, thank you for sharing all this great information, /new subscriber!
Thanks Jake! Great video
Thank you so much, I just switched to suspenders and my back feels better already, now I can upgrade beyond clip ones!
Thanks for the videos I have begun using the clip suspenders but will be changing over to button as I believe will be more comfortable and not pop off
I have never heard of these bachelor buttons. I was confused by the name until I realised how easy they are to use, even if you can't sew buttons on your trousers.
I have always used the kind of suspenders with the brass hooks that you attach to belt loops. This will give me a lot more colours. Thanks
I always thought you had to buy the pants with the buttons on them. Thanks I learned something today
Cheers Jake, really helpful, I have ordered the ” hook over belt type ” because of your excellent video reviews -spot-on 👍
whotusay750 happy to help!
Great videos brother! I’m going to go and buy some x back button suspenders all from your advice! God Bless you and yours bud!!
thank you, very informative presentation on these buttons. I had never heard of them prior to wanting suspenders.
Thank you, Jake, I just ordered suspenders and I've probably ordered the wrong type, I watched your other video on the types of belts and I learned a lot, I wished I watched your video before ordering, but at least I know now. Very informative, Thanks again
Hello Chris, glad to be of assistance. Cheers!
Who knew ? I had no idea cart hart sold suspender buttons. Thank you for posting
Wish I had watched this first before installing my first set. It is simple, but really sucks when you are trial and erroring the process for the first time. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Just what i was looking for..👍
Nice, I'll have to see about doing this. I'm not exactly light in the middle, but I'm not super heavy either...but I've always found belts uncomfortable, doesn't help that I'm trying to lose weight and as I lose it...I have to take belts up tighter and tighter. I got a 2 fairly good pair of clip on suspenders that have worked for a good while now but it DOES get annoying when they come undone sometimes when I get in and out of the car. Other than that they have worked for me fairly well, both are Y back. I'll have to get some buttons and a pair of X back suspenders before winter hits. I live around a good bit of woods and it's not uncommon during winter for old limbs to fall due to a light icing....if my state gets snow (rare as that can be) then I'm out and about in the yard moving dead fallen branches and need something that won't come undone.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, to the point, you were very informational!
Duluth makes some pretty nice buttons as well
If you're like me and just ended up bending most of your tacks, you can use a large pair of pliers and squeeze them on!
I've been squeezing them on with channel locks, and sometimes it crushes the face of the button enough that it pulls off the base. I thought there might be a pliers with a concave face, made just to install "bachelor" buttons, but I haven't found one yet. I'll bet I can spin a button with sandpaper glued to it, in a drill motor, to cut a hollow in the top of a slab of wood, like what you do but even less chance of crushing a button. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks
Watching your videos, I ordered Carhartt suspenders, from USA ,custom 🛃 fees, and shipping are reasonable
I like suspender buttons, especially on wool winter trousers. I also like to carry keys on my belt, a leatherman tool, and some times a leather made I-Phone carrier and a separate bill fold belt holder. Using the belt of course to hold all these items, I find suspenders allow one to avoid tightening the belt too tight and incomfortable. Often with jackets with large carrying capability one can avoid a belt altogether. I always have suspender buttons put on all my trousers. I wish today that trousers to include jeans, all came with suspender buttons. I do not like the clip ons. They dig into one's back often and for me are always coming loose, except for the Filson Suspenders clip ons. So I simply have suspender buttons put on all trousers.
Does your belt slide over the buttons, easily?
sew on buttons are the way to go. Screw those people who say not to wear a belt and suspenders at the same time. As you said they have different purposes.
@@Castleknight put the buttons on the inside of the waistband.
I always thought that you had to buy pants with the buttons on them until I saw your other video on suspenders. How do the buttons do on car seats. I am in and out of my truck a lot?
Is it possible to add those buttons on dress pants (on the inside)
I’m seeing this 7 years after upload, and I had a full stop moment when you said $4 a bag. 2023 inflation has these at $9 a set or $15 for the moveable kind even on Amazon. The name brand ones are likely more now.
Thanks for the content even tho I’m late to the party on the manly suspenders rabbit hole.
You can still find the Welch ones for $5 or so on certain sites!
I know I have been using these for years but they disappeared in the pandemic now you can find them but at a premium...... I say we do a heist ya know one big job at the button factory hahahahaha
@@huntingfishingandtrappingw2974 haha they’ll never see it coming. Too busy guarding the milk & eggs and not watching those good suspender buttons. 😂
Thanks lumberjake. My pack of buttons said to use an awl to make the hole in the pants, I don’t own an awl. But definitely have a hammer and a nail.
Really helpful video! Thanks for posting!
Glad it helped you. Thanks for the feeback.
Love it save money & time no expensive pre made pants
Great video it I watched your other one about which type to get and I will go with the belt loop you have a suggestion on pant brand ? I've try carhart but I have thick thighs thinking about maybe loose pants with suspenders or should the pants fit ?
I've had reallly bad luck with those. eventually the stud works its way through the fabric leaving a hole. I put a small washer between the stud and the fabric to keep that from happening but even then occasionally the stud will pull out of the button. Sew on buttons are way better.
I thought you would have had to take it to a tailor. Thanks
Great help
Can you take off buttons when pants wear out?
I prefer the buttons with the screw on back so I can re-use them on a new pair of pants when I throw the old pair out.
Es-tu Québécois Mr Lumberjake?
Why do you prefer the button head on outside? Are they uncomfy if you put the head inside & wear the strap inside? I will check to see if there are plastic "bachelor buttons" which might be more comfy. Or perhaps sewing on buttons would be more comfortable.
For slacks, and other "nicer" pants, inside is preferred because you could use plastic buttons as there is not that much strain on them. But for work pants, you need brass or metal bachelor buttons, because unlike thread, the rivet holds much better. And riveted bachelor buttons would be supper uncomfortable on the inside of the seam
Very helpful. As Vince commented below, I wish more men would wear them-- for me, much more practical than belts. But you wear them and you get funny looks. "What are you? A lumber jack?.... Michael Douglas in Wall Street>" No I'm a guy whose pants fall down when I wear a belt. Now shaddup.
What size buttons are you using please ? They range from 12mm to 20mm in the UK
20mm on jeans (rivet-style).
17mm on dress slacks (4-hole sew-on style).
Can I put the buttons on a belt instead of the fabric of the jeans? I only use my suspenders while working and don't want to have buttons on all of my jeans.
sew the buttons on the inside of your waistband. Your suspenders will look better and the buttons won't show if you wear a belt. Avoid the logger buttons as they suck.
Jake, I have a question. I carry a legally concealed sidearm with an inside the waistband holster. I need to use the belt to support the weight of the sidearm. . In addition, I like to use suspenders to help support the weight added by the sidearm and allowing a slightly looser fit on the belt - more comfort. I am currently using Y-shaped leather suspenders with trigger snap (dog-leash) attachments. If I change to X-shaped suspenders with bachelor buttons added to my jeans, will I still be able to use my 1-1/2 wide 3/16 inch thick gun belt over the buttons? Will that work?
Hi Dennis, I don't think that would work very well. I'm sure you can "make" it work but it would be uncomfortable for you and your belt would get damaged quickly. I also use Y trigger snap when I carry...I found that to be the best solution.
@@LumberJake Thanks for the quick response and advice. I sincerely appreciate your suspender related videos. I guess I'll stay with the trigger snap. :-)
put the buttons inside your waistband and sew on buttons are the way to go.
The buttons I meant
I've barely been tapping these buttons and they still bend. I don't know how i'm messing them up
What size of nail
Can you put the on the inside of the jeans as opposed to the buttons facing out?
devan dickey the buttons are at least a 1/4 of an inch so I don't think that would be very comfortable. There are regular buttons you can saw on the inside, but those are not for heavy duty suspenders
@@LumberJake thank you very much I really appriciate it
sew on buttons are thinner and I wear mine inside the waistband and don't even notice they are there. I had nothing but problems when I used these hammer together buttons.
Do those brands of buttons come with steel or aluminum tacks? The buttons I got from a sewing store had aluminum tacks and I bent every one of them >=(
Kevin Jokipii sorry for late reply. In all three cases the tack is aluminum. I have not bent one yet. I believe they make them Aluminum in order to not stain pant material. buttons are metal, however
I know this is probably too late but I was having the same problem. I just grabbed a pair of large lineman pliers and squeezed them right on, worked great!
Can i detach the buttons?
Egor Grischenko you could, but not easily. And if you detach, the button cannot be reused
Put the buttons on the INSIDE ! Then you can still wear a belt when you want to.
Can you wear a belt over the buttons, easily?
I suppose you can, but it wouldn't be very easy or comfortable and the belt would get damaged in time. The buttons stand out a good half inch from the material
Ok, thanks for the info.
@@LumberJake
sew buttons inside your waistband and you won't have any problem with wearing a belt. I used the hammer together buttons but had nothing but problems with them.
Who the hell would wear this type of suspender ? as obsolite as model T engine cranks.
the far best are they that hook on to your belt .
