Western Gallus Suspenders

Description

Ariat builds this western pair on elastic strapping with leather and rubber in the fittings, finished with clips at the ends. Black and brown are the two options. The look is western rather than formal, closer to what gets worn with a work shirt and a pair of boots than with a dinner jacket, and the proportions follow suit. Two colors is the whole range, which is about right for something built to be worn rather than matched to an outfit.

Ranch work, long drives, stock shows and ordinary days where a belt is more nuisance than help are the situations these are built around. Ariat makes boots and shirts in the same idiom, so the pair matches the rest of the wardrobe without anyone having to think about it. They read just as well worn casually with jeans, where the leather trim looks deliberate rather than merely utilitarian, and the two colors cover most of what a working wardrobe already contains. The clips make them quick to take off at the end of a shift, which is not a small thing after twelve hours.

Clips mean nothing has to be sewn into the trousers and nothing needs preparing before you dress in the morning. The elastic gives when you move and the straps adjust along their length to suit your height, which covers most builds without any fuss. Leather and rubber both wear in rather than out, so a wipe down when they get dusty is the whole of the maintenance they will ever ask for.
