Suspenders.  It is so comfortable.  No belt.  Nothing to bind my waist.  I hardly even know I'm wearing clothes. 

 

I know it looks silly.  I put on a pair of cotton shorts with a lightweight top from Uniqlo

• We've created a shirt that's lighter, 1.2 times more breathable, and faster-drying, for a "barely there" feel.
• Microfibers create a feel so smooth you'll forget you're wearing it.
• Lots of comfort features including quick-drying DRY technology plus self-deodorizing and anti-microbial/anti-odor properties.
• Deep V-neck stays hidden, even with the top shirt button undone.
• Neat, refreshing short sleeve design.

 

 

 

As a Brit this is the image "suspenders" conjures up in my mind, I'm sure you look fantastic:-

 

 

Sorry (not really).

The heading jumped off the  page at me. Purely by coincidence, I was asked a day or two ago if I knew anywhere to buy suspenders in Bangkok. Any ideas ?

Almost none of the forum members here will fit Uniqlo clothing i bet...

 

But i can recommend the woven belts from Muji which are stretchable.....

I bought mine ffom Ebay, but Lazada also sells them at a higher price. I have also seen them at the local markets here in Pattaya.

You may need to look at posts #2 and #3 ????

Incidentally, that image came from Amazon for men's suspenders, those socks look a bit, er, suspect.

I always thought of suspenders for men as the type that hold your pants up, I don't know anywhere except the US that has suspenders to hold your socks up, did they never introduce socks to elastic? In Australia we call pant suspenders "braces".

My ex. (blue eyed, blonde haired, dead-heat in a Zeppelin race, Essex girl) used to wear stockings and suspenders with her (real) school uniform, for that genuine St. Trinians look (image is sadly not my ex.).

 

 

 

Let me try again. I am seeking a source in Bangkok, for men's suspenders, to hold men's pants up.  Khowjaimai ?

I bought mine at Lazada

I ditched the belts some years ago and always wear my chinos with clip on suspenders that I got mail order from llbean in the US...as a young man working in the NW woods many years ago the work pants always had suspender buttons which are always the better option as the clip ons invariably come undone with the hard work and etc...with the cardboard thick work shirt and the lace up caulked boots (spikes on the soles) we called the ensemble 'riggin' clothes', all cotton, of course...

 

the toughest clothes available but shirt and pants wouldn't last more than 2 -3 months and if lucky the boots may last thru the season 5 - 7 months...the work was very hard and dangerous...only yer tin hat remained until the next year...

Phhhhhhttt...they dont even have my size here. I went to a custom tailor and he referred me to the tent maker down the road. Im the only man in the universe who wears elephant pants because he has to.

That may be so, but in this case, the necessity for suspenders suggests being built like an elephant is not the issue.

Sure is. When your ass has taken a hike to your belly, which dangles over your johnson like a engorged durian, so that you look like a beach ball on toothpics, and you measurment is 54 around your navel and 36 below, well than guess what, you will spend your days hiking up your pants because of that thing called gravity.

 

See how easy it is to tie a string around an orange.

I braced myself for a more interesting suspender thread ????

I braced myself for a more interesting suspender thread twice????

I thought this topic was going to be a jibe at the mods here ????

So true especially when you have a phablet, keys and a wallet full of money weighing down the string.

Is he talking about Gallusses

Gallus' comes from the earlier form 'gallows', which originates in 18th century Scotland, when the word was defined by the lexicographer Nathaniel Bailey as 'contrivances made of cloth, and hooks and eyes, worn over the shoulders by men to keep their breeches up'. A dialect version is spelt 'gallaces'. 'Gallows' had faded by the mid-19th century, giving way to 'gallus' (usually 'galluses') which survived until the mid-20th century.

 

Braces, Suspenders or Galluses, whatever you call, them they hold our trousers!

Oh god he means braces why dont Americans speak English

Braces, Suspenders or Galluses, whatever you call, them they hold our trousers and there were pictures for the British.  

I wear mine under my shirt as I hate shirts tucked in. When you wear cargo shorts with wallet, keys, phone, spare change etc in the pockets they end up around my knees. Not a pretty sight.
