Got tired of being squeezed by a belt.  I bought six pair of these suspenders.  They work great on dress pants or shorts; however they do not hold up to scuffing on my work pants.  I got a splash of water base paint on one of them and by the time I had scrubbed the paint off the suspender strap, the material had begun to fray.  That said,  I would order them again if I needed more.  The clips are sturdy and other than the shortcoming I have sited, they are well made.
