PERRY SUSPENDERS Original 1 1/2"

Been buying this one for years and love them

I hate wearing suspenders, but I hate hiking my pants up every ten minutes even more. I inherited a similar pair of suspenders after my wonderful father passed away at 93. I wore them and wore them. After some time the elastic starts to lose its strength. I bought these suspenders to wear instead. They’re great. The plastic clips won’t scratch the leather seats of a car like metal clip suspenders. They’re easy to adjust and especially great if you’re very active doing yard chores or getting in and out of the car. I love wearing them on road trips because you can wear your belt a bit looser without risking your pants dropping. Less pressure on the abdomen for a six hour car ride is a real comfort. They’re comfortable and come in different colors. Why don’t you give them a try?

Perfect for what my Dad needed to keep his pants from drooping. Stylish and yet practical.

Embarrassing to say, but it's probably very relevant to other really fat guys, so I am 6'1" and pushing 450 lbs and these suspenders fit perfectly, even if I wear my pants low on my belly. They aren't even at the maximum length so I could presumably gain even more weight and the suspenders would still fit. The 1.5" strap is great for lightweight slacks but doesn't seem quite sturdy enough for jeans when doing anything physical, though. I am going to try the 2" version instead and see how they work. Rating only 4 stars because the rear hook broke after little more than a month of use. It caught on part of my door frame as I was getting into my vehicle and shattered. Maybe it shattered because I have been putting too much strain on them, but it still seemed like the plastic broke much more easily than it should have. Still, I don't know, so only removing 1 star instead of more. Couple things about these suspenders that I think could stand some improvement: 1. Stamp the "Perry" logo on the leather portion on the inside instead of the outside. As is it's a bit tacky when wearing the suspenders on the outer layer and can still often be read through a thin-material shirt worn over it. Better yet, remove the stamped logo entirely. These are comfortable suspenders and I'll shout out about the brand enough without it being advertised on me. 2. When I wear the suspenders as they naturally connect to the belt (with the clips facing inward) they will sometimes get knocked off the belt when I sit down or bend over. I can't just wear the suspenders "inside-out" since the rear hook will only work over the belt instead of under it. (Technically you could flip it around but then its center knock-out won't be able to grab onto a belt loop and prevent the clip from sliding around). To fix this I leave the rear clip over the belt and flip the front clips around so they fit under the inside of the belt instead of over the outside. This keeps everything connected nicely all day. However, having the straps twisted around gets uncomfortable and eventually causes kinked material under the length adjustment collar. If there was a better way to flip the front clips around so they go under the belt instead of over I would be a very happy camper. 3. How come the Big & Tall one is only ever available in green??

If you like using a belt, these are the suspenders for you. I really dislike the suspenders that use "alligator" clips. I've never had that type hold without coming loose and causing my pants to fall down. I tell folks that my belly can push down more than my butt can hold up. Hooking on the belt works much better. After I found this type of suspender, I haven't bought any other type. At first, I thought the plastic "hooks" would be too weak and break, but I've used these suspenders daily for years and never had one fail. One advantage is that you can loosen your belt a little and your pants still don't fall down! Thank you Dickies!

MY EXPERIENCE > As a active geezer with no waist, I wanted to be able to be able to carry around water bottles or tools from my belt without my pants falling down. > Actually, my pants don't fall completely down, but I often find myself walking on the cuffs of my pants and ruining them. I also find myself constantly having to "hitch up" my pants, with my shirt riding up. CAUTION > Perry suspenders MUST be worn with a substantial (reasonably thick and wide) belt. >> I use them with 1 1/4" wide military-type fabric belts and similar elastic fabric belts, and they work fine. They'd probably work with any thick leather belt over 3/4" wide. >> If your belt isn't thick enough, you can probably use the "velvet" part (only) of "stick-on" Velcro as a spacer on the inside of the clip. RESULTS > The Perry suspenders solve my problems, and are more comfortable than I expected. > "Standard" fits my 5'10' height fine, and would probably fit anyone up to 6' 6" or so. > Perry seems to be the only brand that clips onto belts without nasty metal clips or awkward stringy attachments. > One review suggest clipping them on backwards so that the "Perry" logo and information do not show. Actually, that seems like the most logical way to install them. But, in fact, it doesn't work, because the back clip can only go one way straddling the central beltloop. WEARING > Put the suspenders in place, unclipped, with the back suspender hanging down your back. Let it hand down in back as far as you can. > Secure the back clip first, with half of each clip on each side of your central back belt loop. > Secure the front clips. > Note that you need to unhook all three hooks to go to the toilet, albeit you can leave them (unhooked) on your shoulders. If you try any half-way unhooking, you are likely to wind up with one or more of the ends in the toilet. > Note that you can only use suspenders with tucked-in shirts. They don't work with sweat-shirts, or tee-shirts, flannel shirts, or fishing-shirts worn "out". > Take some care choosing colors, since these will be rubbing against your shirt, and possibly transferring pigment etc. I am sure that they are colorfast, but even so, I wouldn't wear black or navy-blue suspenders with a white shirt. I choose "tan" because it matches the khaki pants I usually wear, and is unlikely to stain my shirts. CAVEATS > The 1 1/2" suspenders feel a little too springy for me. That is, too elastic. If I tighten them up to the point that I feel support, they are pulling unevenly and look ridiculous. I've learned to wear them loosely, and to my surprise, so far that has been good enough for hiking with a water bottle, but I doubt that they will be adequate for carrying around heavy tools. Next time, I'll try the 2" version. > Some pants have very wide belt loops, in which case securing the back clip can be a little difficult. OTHER REVIEW'S COMPLAINTS > Endless other reviewers squawk, "What's the point of suspenders if you have to wear a belt?" > Answer, "Plenty". I find the combination of a soft flexible belt (which with a military-type buckle is infinitely adjustable Web Belt Military Style with Brass Buckle and Tip 54" Long Many Colors ) with optional suspenders to be the best of all worlds. I can wear my belt loose in appropriate situations with or without suspenders. I can carry around "stuff" on my belt without having to overtighten my belt when I use the suspenders. Even tight the flexible fabric belts do not cut into my gut (as do some wide leather belts). And finally you can get military buckles in zinc or plastic which do not set off metal detectors. > Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

I had a pair of these for about 10 years. Finally had to replace them. Perry is very good quality.

UPDATE: Removing 2 stars. I have to say that these have stretched out and become almost useless. These have NOT held up as well as the Dickies ones I had previously, and I am quite disappointed. They still attach well, but the straps themselves are next to useless, as I cannot adjust them anymore because the elastic strap fabric has stretched out of shape badly and frankly a lot faster than my previous knock-off Dickies pair. Too bad, I had a decent run with them for a while :( Expected to have them last alot longer.

My husband loves this brand!

di una facilità e comodità uniche

The belt loop holders are very solid and work well.

excellent for the guy whose pants keep on lowering by themselves
