Marvin the Martian Suspenders

Description

Stretchy nylon, stainless steel hardware, one inch wide, and Marvin the Martian printed along the length of both straps. The whole pair weighs 3.2 ounces. Buckle-Down holds the licence, so the Looney Tunes art is the genuine version rather than a lookalike. The character repeats along the strap, helmet and all, in the greens and greys he is drawn in.

Marvin is a particular kind of fan pick. He is the deadpan one, quietly plotting to destroy the Earth because it obstructs his view of Venus, and people who choose him over Bugs are usually making a point about it. That makes these a good fit for a space or sci-fi themed party, for a cartoon fan’s everyday wear, and for anyone who works somewhere that tolerates one piece of personality in an otherwise plain outfit. Green runs through the print, so dark trousers and a neutral shirt give it room. They also serve a costume well. A green jacket and these do most of the work of a Marvin outfit, and they need no explanation to anyone who grew up with the shorts.

Nylon has more give than a woven strap, and the adjustable design is built to fit most body types rather than a narrow size band. Stainless steel at the adjusters resists corrosion in a way that plated hardware does not. At 3.2 ounces you will not notice the weight through a full day. Adjustment runs along each strap, so setting the drop once is enough, and a gentle wash keeps the print from dulling.
