Suspenders or braces are
fabric straps worn over the
shoulders to hold up trousers.
Straps may be elasticated,
either entirely or only at
attachment ends and most
straps are of woven cloth
forming an X or Y shape at the
back. Braces are typically
attached to trousers with
buttons using leather tabs at
the ends or with clips.
Tactical suspenders help
support your pants from
falling down without the use
of a belt. The H, X and Y
style suspenders are
lightweight and have top
quality craftsmanship.
Military suspenders are used
to hold up pistol belts
because pistol belts can get
heavy and drag down the pants.
A belt usually cinches a
waistband tighter to the body,
and suspenders on the other
hand give either Y or X shaped
fixed points for the trousers
to hand from. The LC-1
suspenders can be adjusted to
raise or lower the pants so
that the point where the legs
join is comfortable situated.
Trousers can also be worn
higher with braces, allowing
larger men in particular to
drape their trousers down for
their narrower natural waist
rather than having to belt
them uncomfortably beneath
their stomach.
