I got these to wear at a wedding so my grandson wouldn't feel self conscious about having to wear suspenders for his ring-bearer getup. "Hey, look! Both you and Grandpa are wearing suspenders!" He thought that was cool. Since that wedding, I left the suspenders on that suit, and have worn it several more times. I kinda like them more each time I wear them. I had to get use to "the feel" of a pair of pants with suspenders instead of a belt. But, they are comfortable.
