Hidden X-Back Snap Loop Suspenders

Description

Four snap loops, one at each corner, and an X across the back. Each loop threads through a belt loop and presses shut on itself, so nothing clips onto the fabric of the trousers and nothing can be pulled loose by accident. The webbing is 1.6 inches wide in 75 percent polyester and 25 percent elastic, with two plastic adjusters. The result is a fastening that behaves more like part of the trousers than an accessory clipped onto them.

Four attachment points and an X back is the arrangement for holding a waistband dead level, which is why this is filed as work gear. Under a shirt it is invisible and does the job a belt does without a buckle at the waist. Over a shirt it reads as a straightforward pair of working suspenders. Either way the snap loops keep wear off the trousers, and wear is what finishes a good pair of work trousers first when metal clips are used every day. It also stays put through bending and lifting, where three points of contact will let a waistband tilt.

Adjustable length runs from 27.6 to 47.2 inches before the elastic stretches, so plus sizes and taller frames are covered by the same pair. Twenty colors are listed, from black, brown, navy, gray, khaki, beige and green through bordeaux red and dark denim to a set of stripe combinations. The buckles open with a press and close by themselves, so the pair goes on and comes off without a struggle. Colors this numerous in one construction make it easy to buy a second pair that fits identically to the first, which is useful if you wear them daily and want a spare while one is in the wash.
