Suspenders Under Sweater

9650 Views 25 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  eagle2250
I've been thinking about buying a pair of suspenders to wear underneath my sweaters, as I've been having trouble keeping my trousers up despite their being tailored/in my waist size (28). Where would be a good place to look? Should I be looking at specific material for the suspenders to protect my sweaters from snagging/chafing? I've found a couple options online, but they mostly used metal clips that I think would damage my trousers, which in fact come with suspender buttons.

As an aside, have any of you gentlemen ever found having a thin waist to be (at least) a minor annoyance? I'm by no means sickly, am of above average height and build, and swim often... Perhaps this is a problem that fixes itself with age?

Thank you for your input.

If I were paying he would make regular suspender trouser but, for cotton. Not even a waistband in back. Waistband in front is optional. I would have cotton canvas as support up there.
Here we go again, down the path of sartorial relativism. No truths, no absolutes, if it feels good baby do it.....

Its working great for our society, right? :fool:​
The suggestion that wearing suspenders with "chinos" (what I always called khakis) is in violation of some previously existing truth, absolute, or rule is just bizarre.

I had a 29" waist up until about the age of 30.
Then it crept up to 30", and then 32", where it has remained for the past 18 years or so.

No, I actually was not aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out. ;)
