Joker Print Suspenders

Description

Purple, green and black, in that order of dominance, with the Joker’s laughing face repeated down both straps. The webbing is stretchy nylon at one inch wide, and the hardware is stainless steel. Anyone who knows the character will identify the colour scheme before they register the print itself. The graphic repeats along the strap, so the character stays readable whether the braces are worn over a shirt or glimpsed under an open jacket.

Costume use is the obvious one. A purple jacket, a green shirt and these underneath does most of the work of a Joker outfit without renting anything, and they carry a Halloween look further than a mask does. Outside of that, they get worn by comics readers who want something with more edge than a novelty animal print, and they are a common pick for conventions and for themed club nights. The print is loud, so pair it with plain trousers and let the straps do the talking. They also see use well outside October. Comic shop staff, card players and anyone with a taste for the villain over the hero wear them as ordinary clothing.

Nylon gives enough to move with your shoulders through a long night out, and the one-inch width keeps the weight down. Stainless steel at the adjusters and attachment points holds up better than plated hardware when a pair gets pulled on and off repeatedly, which costume pieces tend to be. Keep the wash gentle. Printed nylon holds its purple and green best when it is not put through heat.
