How to Choose Suspenders

Our suspenders lineup mainly includes products made with polyester, polyurethane, iron, and leather. If you value stretch, polyurethane is worth noting because it has the same stretch-and-recovery properties as an elastic band. If you want to make the most of the material texture, in addition to leather, silk with a smooth feel and sheen, and wool with resilience are also options.

When you want to refine the silhouette of formal pants, it is best to choose the look of the material and the combination with metal materials to match the outfit. For weddings and photo shoots, you can consider them while checking the impression when standing and sitting. Customer reviews also mention the sturdy construction of the clip.

★★★★☆

You can use it with peace of mind.

I bought it for my own use.
Since it's 25 mm, the width is a bit narrow, but the clip is sturdy, so I can use it with confidence.
(Actually, I bought a cheaper alternative from another site, but the clip was poorly made and it was completely unusable.)

One downside was that the box was damaged.
If it had been for a customer, that would have been a bit of a problem.

When it comes to ALBERT THURSTON, BOX CLOTH

The straps are made of felt: 100% wool, heavily fulled to create a dense, thick, and highly durable felt textile. The name BOX CLOTH originates from the 1800s, when cars had not yet become widespread. Coachmen, who drove the horse-drawn carriages that were the primary means of transportation at the time, used this material for warmth like a coat, lap blanket, or scarf. The seat where the coachman sat was called the Box, Box Seat, or Coach Box, which is how the name came about. BOX CLOTH differs significantly in construction from standard ALBERT THURSTON suspenders. Standard suspenders are sewn in place at the adjuster used to change the strap length, whereas with BOX CLOTH, shortening the straps leaves the excess material hanging down. The excess strap can be cut to shorten it after adjustment. Because it is felt, it will not fray. This is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other items. It is truly ALBERT THURSTON's signature product and the most classic item we recommend.

A standard formal suspender item

Suspenders from Albert Thurston, the world’s leading suspender brand, founded in 1820. They are the most popular choice for formal suspenders and have many repeat customers. With a clean, no-frills design, they are suitable not only for formal wear but also for everyday business settings. This 2-in-1 design comes with clips and loops, so it works with both trousers with suspender buttons and trousers without buttons. The details are carefully considered as well: the length-adjusting slide hardware is Albert Thurston’s original design, and unlike ordinary slide hardware with a serrated section, theirs is completely smooth and straight, so it is designed not to damage the elastic band even after long use. A suspender pair you will want to have on hand for formal wear.

A must-have for suspender enthusiasts

Clip-on suspenders are easy, but this is a product I would highly recommend to anyone who, if possible, prefers classic-looking button-on suspenders.
Button-on suspenders look great, but sewing suspender buttons onto every pair of pants is a hassle. If you have Albert Thurston clip-on buttons,
there is no need to sew on suspender buttons. They are very easy to put on and take off, so just attach them to your pants and you can use button-on suspenders, making them an excellent product.
