I recently got into wearing suspenders when I saw the cool pants with suspenders from Karmaloop. Their suspenders broke on the third use, and email to them was a run around. So, I figured I loved the pants, and the suspenders were props to sell, not intended to represent the primary focus.

So, I bought these to go with those pants, and others. I find the non-button option (the clamps) is really good! I did not have any slippage, and they allow me to wear pants that I like, but that are a bit big and I have to keep fiddling with when I wear a belt. With suspenders I never have to pull the pants up or push them down.

One big reason I make sure to have some slightly too-big pants is when I fly I absolutely cannot be squeezed and uncomfortable, or the probability of my getting airsickness goes up considerably.

I do wish I could find more artistic and urbane suspenders, but the classics like these are timeless!
