Suspenders question Regarding sizing and misc

[Son_of_Atropos]

I just bought a pair of suspenders and I am curious whether one size really fits all. I am 6'5"with a muscular build so I'm not really buying the sales lady that one size fits all. I bought some cheapos just to test them.

On another note, has anyone purchased these? http://www.suspenders.com/news1.htm

They probably do everything they advertise. But...clip-on braces? No, no, no, no, no............

However, to each his/her own.

There are some multi-fit braces that are adjusted both front and rear but the better braces are sized. Albert Thurston expounds.

I have the trouble that most suspenders are too long for me (5' 2").

So the saleslady told you "one size fits all" and you bought a pair. So you have a pair in your hot little hands...and you want to know if they'll actually fit. Um...going out on a limb here, but when you tried them on, did they fit? I think that's the best way of answering the question rather than asking those of us who don't know you, nor the suspenders you bought.

I get all my suspendies form the good will store. Modern suspendies are longer than the old ones. The old ones are made for high waisted pants. I have modern suspendies that are too long for old high wasted pants....never really checked to see if the modern ones are all the same length. I'd be surprised if the modern ones wouldn''t work for you even at 6'5".

In my experience one size does not fit all. But as some contributors have said, it does depend in part on how high waisted your trousers are. However, if you are new to wearing braces (suspenders), congratulations as you will find much greater comfort. I have been glad to find this site and discover that there are more wearers of braces than I had realised although not many of you gentlemen seem to live in Brighton UK!

Douchebag, I really just wanted to know if they come in bigger sizes and if anyone had problems with them size wise. If you had nothing to add why bother posting.

Hmm, nice language. If you want to know if they come in bigger sizes, perhaps that's the question you should ask.

From the Albert Thurston site in re sizing:

"Braces are measured from the waistband, over the shoulder to where they attach at the back of the trouser.

Medium are 40"/100cms, Large are 44"/110cms", and X Large are 46"/115cms"
