1.5-Inch Big and Tall Button-End Suspenders

Description

These are button-end suspenders, finished with leather tabs that fasten to buttons sewn inside the waistband rather than clipping onto the outside of it. The straps are 1.5-inch elastic joined in a Y-back layout, and the pair is cut long for big and tall wearers, which is the main reason to choose it over a standard length. Black, brown, navy, grey and beige make up the colour range. Elastic runs the length of the straps, and the adjusters sit within easy reach at the front.

Button ends are the traditional arrangement and the one that sits properly under a waistcoat or a suit jacket, since nothing bulky shows at the waistband. That makes them a sensible choice for an office, a wedding, a formal dinner or any occasion where the straps might be seen briefly but should not draw attention. The longer cut also suits outdoor wear over heavier trousers, where a standard pair runs short. Anyone who has found regular suspenders pulling too tight across the shoulders is the intended buyer, along with anyone tall enough that a standard pair sits short at the back.

The straps adjust along their length, so the fit can be set once and left. Elastic takes the movement out of sitting down and standing up, and because the load is carried on buttons rather than clips, nothing chews at the trouser fabric over time. Trousers without waistband buttons will need them added, which a tailor can do quickly and cheaply on most waistbands.
