It's weird but true and believe it or not: the belt is a relatively young invention. Suspenders have long been the means of keeping pants up. Since before the First World War, men have preferred to keep their pants up with suspenders.
Earlier, suspenders were often seen as a relic from another era or typical of certain types of people or professions. They were mainly worn by dandies, bankers or as an icon by punk rockers and hipsters.
Today, as we are getting more and more eyes and appreciation for quality and well applied details in men's fashion culture as well, suspenders can be seen as a common part of the well-dressed modern man. Daily, when worn functionally and occasional, when worn as an eye-catching accessory.
But HOW do we wear suspenders the right way?
Sir Redman suspenders feature the highest quality leather loops and sturdy clips. With the special tin can with 6 buttons, needle & thread and a distance finder to attach the buttons to the inside of your pants, it's very easy to wear your suspenders in the authentic way. Not into that? Then use the high-quality clips to clip them to your trouser rim. They are detachable from each other. Not using the loops? Then keep them in the can: handy, right?
Suspenders are one way to keep your pants up. A belt is another way to keep your pants up. Never wear suspenders with a belt together. It's the same as wearing glasses AND lenses. Choose one or the other, not both.
Suspenders fit best on pants that have a little room in the waist. If your pants are tight (or fit your waist perfectly) you don't need suspenders. Unless, of course, you want to add a stylish fashion accessory to your look.

In the good old days, suspenders were not an accessory you had to show off. They used to be considered a form of underwear, something that shouldn't exactly be seen. Nowadays, suspenders are an addition to the appearance of many a man. In fact, they are indispensable in the closet of any fashion-conscious man. Men who love fashion and dare to make a statement. Men who want to show what they stand for, with a sense of style and an eye for quality.
