Suspenders

The Perrys model I selected does not have a clip, loop or any type of hookup in the back. Just two attachment points on the front.

I chose the Perrys model because many of my favorite outdoor pants have a very wide back belt loop on the back. A clip such as the Hikers will not work on this design. Many other types of clamp are not very well designed for this type of pants either.

This discussion reminds me of my first experience in full uniform gear as a young cop and in desperate need of a restroom break. Sam Browne belt, holster, ammo pouch, handcuff case, nightstick, belt keepers to keep the Sam Browne attached to the trouser belt, all the other stuff that gets in the way of a nice peaceful rest stop in the middle of a shift.

Suspenders, braces, whatever we call them can only get in the way under genuine emergency situations in unfamiliar places and awkward times.

But I suppose it just "DEPENDS" on what works for you.
 
Still good...even though I am 60 years older now!

Hell.....that web gear worked pretty darn well in 1966 I can tell you...even with a M1911A1, holster and bayonet & scabbard attached.

I don't feel the need any longer to carry the bayonet, scabbard or the ammo pouches but the first aid packet, can still ride along.

The old Nam era web gear is still pretty cheap at surplus stores, the more modern stuff not so cheap but either way your belt works, your pants won't fall down, you can distribute the weight of what you want pretty much where you want ....BUT....

You will most likely have a fashionista problem in public, especially if you top off this rig with a old Nam era boonie hat, maybe that old pair of fatigues...(no problem for me....haven't been able to fit in them for decades):D
 
I wear suspenders with a suit and I'm slim built, it's a style "thang".
I have some really cool alligator leather suspenders to go with my alligator dress shoes. And yes, you wear them with a belt if they're only for style.
Not my suspenders but an image of them offline.

I like "airport suspenders." They have no ferrous metal in them and very little metal of any kind. Will not set off metal detectors. They use a very nice wide plastic clip that holds onto even fairly thin fabric very nicely. About 1" wide. For heavy duty (range) use I use 2" wide button-on suspenders. Red. They see me coming.
