Big and Tall Suspenders

These big and tall suspenders are cut long and wide for larger frames: the elastic straps measure 3.5 cm across, about 1.4 inches, and adjust up to roughly 48 inches. The supplier recommends this length for wearers from 5 feet 9 to 6 feet 2. They cross into an X at the back and fasten with four bronze-tone clips.

Fit and Length of the Big and Tall Suspenders

A wide strap spreads the pull across the shoulders, so it feels more comfortable when holding up heavier trousers or work pants. Four clips grip the waistband at two points front and back, which keeps the trousers level. If you are taller than 6 feet 2, measure from your front waistband over the shoulder to the back waistband before ordering, since the 48 inch length may be tight at full stretch.

Wearing X-Back Suspenders for Work or a 1920s Look

In black or dark gray they suit a suit at a wedding or a themed Gatsby party; with a white shirt, a flat cap and rolled sleeves, they give a 1920s working-man look. Wine red, navy and beige look good with jeans and chinos for everyday wear. See every style in our suspenders.

Big and Tall Suspenders FAQ

Should you wear a belt with suspenders?

No. Suspenders and a belt do the same job, and wearing both looks fussy. Choose one.

Do the clips damage trousers?

Clips can leave small marks on delicate fabrics. Clip onto the waistband rather than thin material.

What are the straps made of?

Polyester elastic, according to the supplier.
