Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Suspenders

Description

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles artwork on a one inch elastic strap, licensed officially through Nickelodeon. Greens, blacks and tan carry the design. Steel plated components hold the whole thing together, which is a noticeably heavier specification than most printed novelty straps bother to go to. A one inch strap keeps the artwork legible without tipping the whole thing over into a costume prop, which is the line most licensed accessories fail to hold.

There are two audiences here and they overlap heavily: people who grew up with the characters, and people assembling a costume. A themed party, a convention, a birthday, or an ordinary outfit that needs one unserious element in it all give them somewhere useful to go. Adjustable straps mean an adult of almost any height can wear the same pair, so they pass around a group easily. The licence also means the artwork is the real thing rather than a near miss traced from memory, which matters more to the people buying these than it might to anyone else.

One inch is narrow enough to sit comfortably through a long day rather than pressing into the shoulder the way a two inch strap can once it is loaded. The elastic stretches and recovers between wearings, and the plated fittings are built for repeated use rather than a single night out at a convention. Set the length once when you first put them on and the fit holds, whether they go over a t shirt or under an open jacket.
