Front strap gap a little too wide causing spontaneous unbuckling.
I have had and used the smaller width perry suspenders for years. I have lost weight and needed to down size. This pair has two inch straps to the front which is fine for my needs. I wear them when working outside on the yard and mowing grass etc.I like the fact that they hook easily to the belt and just as easily can be un-hooked when the job is done.However: The gap on the buckles of the front straps is too large and this allows the strap to unbuckle on its own. I have taken to twisting them around backwards so the clip in on the inside of the belt to prevent this but it is not an ideal solution.I plan on taking a heat gun and if it is a thermoplastic I should be able to soften and close the gap down some. My previous perry suspenders didn't have this problem and the gap on the front straps was tighter.UPDATE: Using a heat gun set to 750 degrees I laid the buckles on a work table with the clip side up. Pressing down on the clip with a metal rod laid parallel to the buckle I carefully heated the top of the buckle. Within a few seconds the plastic clip yielded and I was able to press the clip down flush with the arms. I removed the heat while maintaining pressure with the metal rod and allowed the clip to cool for 20 seconds or so. The clip had some spring back but the gap was much smaller. That seems to make the fit on my belt snugger and more secure.. If the gap is still too much then the next time I will use the metal rod vertical to the clip and push the clip all the way to the table top not just flush with the arms and see if that works better.Edit 2: Have been using these suspenders for various jobs and they are working great. The buckles stay clipped to the belt. The two inch wide straps are very comfortable across the shoulders. Would give these a 5 star rating if they didn't require the modification.

Great for a man that can't keep his pants on
Great for a man that can't keep his pants on! When you realize that you no longer have that 30 year old body and you belly is bigger than your butt. If you find that your belt may be having a difficult time hanging on. This could be the answer. Unless you spill your coffee, nothing in the morning ruins your day like walking across a dew ladened lawn to find your pant cuffs wet with moisture. Having to pull your pants up every 5 minutes is not the answer. Obviously, you need help. Perry Suspenders are here to help! They will help to keep your pants up! No more dragging cuffs. Comfortable on the shoulders and you may forget you're wearing them. Easy on, easy off with strong plastic clips that won't mar your belt. Different colors. I bought them in a tan, which will conceal better under a shirt than a darker color. TIP: Wearing suspenders concealed under your shirt makes you look 30 years younger than wearing them over your shirt :)Perfect for concealed carry.

Nice suspenders if you like to wear a belt too
Very nice made in USA suspenders. I prefer to wear a belt with my suspenders, why you ask? because of the old saying:'You can lie to a man with a belt, you can lie to a man with suspenders, but NEVER lie to a man wearing both a belt and suspenders'In all seriousness, these are very nice suspenders. I will note the loss of one star is because if you wear these with a thinner belt, be prepared for the clips to slip off every time you have to drop your pants for natures call. Obviously they will not slip off in general use, it's only when the straps come of your shoulders and things dangle that you need to worry about.I wish they had used a plastic that had more 'spring' to it for the hooks, but what they have does work and its very strong. I'll be ordering more of these when mine wear out.I use these mainly because I typically have a firearm of sorts in my pocket and these really help to keep the pants up when doing so. Especially if you have no butt and a bit of a belly pushing your pants down, like I do!The wife says she loves the looks but I catch her rolling her eyes when she says that, so I'm a bit dubious of her claims. Although at my age I could care less about looks.

> DOES THE JOB
MY EXPERIENCE> As a active geezer with no waist, I wanted to be able to be able to carry around water bottles or tools from my belt without my pants falling down.> Actually, my pants don't fall completely down, but I often find myself walking on the cuffs of my pants and ruining them. I also find myself constantly having to "hitch up" my pants, with my shirt riding up.CAUTION> Perry suspenders MUST be worn with a substantial (reasonably thick and wide) belt.>> I use them with 1 1/4" wide military-type fabric belts and similar elastic fabric belts, and they work fine. They'd probably work with any thick leather belt over 3/4" wide.>> If your belt isn't thick enough, you can probably use the "velvet" part (only) of "stick-on" Velcro as a spacer on the inside of the clip.RESULTS> The Perry suspenders solve my problems, and are more comfortable than I expected.> "Standard" fits my 5'10' height fine, and would probably fit anyone up to 6' 6" or so.> Perry seems to be the only brand that clips onto belts without nasty metal clips or awkward stringy attachments.> One review suggest clipping them on backwards so that the "Perry" logo and information do not show. Actually, that seems like the most logical way to install them. But, in fact, it doesn't work, because the back clip can only go one way straddling the central beltloop.WEARING> Put the suspenders in place, unclipped, with the back suspender hanging down your back. Let it hand down in back as far as you can.> Secure the back clip first, with half of each clip on each side of your central back belt loop.> Secure the front clips.> Note that you need to unhook all three hooks to go to the toilet, albeit you can leave them (unhooked) on your shoulders. If you try any half-way unhooking, you are likely to wind up with one or more of the ends in the toilet.> Note that you can only use suspenders with tucked-in shirts. They don't work with sweat-shirts, or tee-shirts, flannel shirts, or fishing-shirts worn "out".> Take some care choosing colors, since these will be rubbing against your shirt, and possibly transferring pigment etc. I am sure that they are colorfast, but even so, I wouldn't wear black or navy-blue suspenders with a white shirt. I choose "tan" because it matches the khaki pants I usually wear, and is unlikely to stain my shirts.CAVEATS> The 1 1/2" suspenders feel a little too springy for me. That is, too elastic. If I tighten them up to the point that I feel support, they are pulling unevenly and look ridiculous. I've learned to wear them loosely, and to my surprise, so far that has been good enough for hiking with a water bottle, but I doubt that they will be adequate for carrying around heavy tools. Next time, I'll try the 2" version.> Some pants have very wide belt loops, in which case securing the back clip can be a little difficult.OTHER REVIEW'S COMPLAINTS> Endless other reviewers squawk, "What's the point of suspenders if you have to wear a belt?"> Answer, "Plenty". I find the combination of a soft flexible belt (which with a military-type buckle is infinitely adjustable Web Belt Military Style with Brass Buckle and Tip 54" Long Many Colors ) with optional suspenders to be the best of all worlds. I can wear my belt loose in appropriate situations with or without suspenders. I can carry around "stuff" on my belt without having to overtighten my belt when I use the suspenders. Even tight the flexible fabric belts do not cut into my gut (as do some wide leather belts). And finally you can get military buckles in zinc or plastic which do not set off metal detectors.> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

Keeps your trousers where they should be
I decided it was time for me to lose a few pounds, so I bought some hiking boots, and hiking trousers, and got out into the great outdoors. Unfortunately - due to my huge belly - my trousers kept slipping down to my hips (even with a belt) and I kept having to hoik them up every mile or so. I looked at different types and brands of braces/suspenders on the Web and decided to try these ones. The flat hooks that clip onto your belt are robust plastic, and don't dig into you, and can also be undone quickly - even with thick gloves on - if you need the public loo when out and about, unlike the fiddly clips or buttons on other braces.The adjusters on the front straps are also robust plastic that fit flush with the strap and doesn't dig into you. They are very comfy and keep my trousers where they should be until such time as my belt can do the job on its own. So if you want to lose weight, but not your trousers - get these.

No more half mast jeans.
Have used Perry braces for 10 years. Used to buy them direct from the States. Was a hassle with them being held up at customs waiting for me to pay import duty. Now I buy them here. As a kitchen fitter I am always kneeling/bending down but with these beauties I no longer need to keep hitching up my Scruffs or jeans. After 2 years of constant use the elastic in them does tend to GO. Well worth the investment though. I have a red pair for social events.

Perfect holder uppers
My husband was struggling to keep his trousers up with just a belt and previous experience with clip on braces have always ended up with broken pieces. These hook on braces work perfectly and are easily adjustable. Would certainly buy again.

Best braces ever.
I got a set of these brace a few years ago and they are still good so I decided to get a couple of them just for variety.I honestly think thet are the best braces ever. Amazingly effective and comfortable.The fact that they hook onto your belt means they can't slip of as most braces can. Brilliant and highly recommended.I intend to get some more soon just for variety.

He tried the braces with the clips but they were useless. These Perry Suspenders are perfect
My husband has to wear high rise/high waisted trousers due to a medical condition. They always slipped down even though he wore a belt, he always ended up with a 'baggy bottom'. He tried the braces with the clips but they were useless. These Perry Suspenders are perfect, they slot onto his belt securely, are comfortable to wear and keep his trousers neatly in place. He looks so much smarter. He highly recommends them.
