Cat Print Suspenders

Description

Cats are printed the length of both straps, drawn as illustrated figures rather than photographs, in browns and blacks that keep the pair usable with ordinary clothes instead of restricting it to fancy dress. At 1.0 inch wide, the strap is narrow enough that the cats read as a run of small distinct figures down the chest rather than merging into texture. The body is elastic and the hardware is steel-plated.

Cat owners are the obvious buyers, and this is a common gift for one, usually from someone who has heard about the cat at length. Beyond that, it works for casual weekend wear, animal charity events and fundraisers, birthdays, and any party where a light-hearted print is welcome rather than merely tolerated. It is not a formal pair and it will look out of place with a dinner suit, but over a plain shirt with jeans or chinos it does precisely what it is meant to do and nothing more. It is worn by men and women alike, and the strap width is the same for both.

The elastic strap adjusts to most body types on a single pair, so it can be given as a gift without knowing anyone’s measurements. The darker palette means it will not clash with the trousers most people already own, and keeping the shirt underneath plain is what allows the individual figures to stay readable. Worn with a white shirt the browns warm up considerably; against black they settle back into the strap.
