Men's Elastic Ruf-N-Tuf Hook End Suspenders (Tall Available)

I hated suspenders since my mother made me wear them as a toddler. Now as an old man, belts just do not hold my pants up like they used to. I go this particular style suspenders because it clips onto a belt rather than requiring button on the pants or clips that eventually destroy the waist band on the pants. The clips o these are made of some kind of sturdy plastic. They slide behind the belt and clip under it. Once adjusted the 2” wide straps are very comfortable.One thing I was concerned about was the single clip in the rest conflicting with the belt loop that is placed in the center of most of my pants. This turned out not to be an issue. The clip has a notch in it to provides a space for the belt loop. The space is about 1” wide so if your belt loops are wider it may be an issue. Mine are 1 1/4” generally and the clip still works just fine.My only issue, and the reason for the 4 star rating, is that the two over the shoulder straps come together in a leather covered location in the middle of the back. That leather covering tends to cause some discomfort where it rubs on the back. I believe this is because that location is thick to begin with and adding the leather to both sides makes it so thick that rubbing the back is inevitable.I would recommend these to anyone who is carrying some weight on a belt and is having difficulty with their pants riding down as a result. If you carry multi tools, a heavy knife or perhaps are a concealed carrier, this will solve that problem for you.

A heavier duty elastic used on straps make it more suitable for suspending jeans/trousers/belt that are carrying extra weight. If pockets or belt are loaded with heavy tools or other items, then this probably the better choice. However, when I was wearing the Ruf-N-Tuf with jeans that were only carrying a flip phone and a 3-1/2" folding knife, the straps were too stiff. The stiffness shows up in both the expansion of the strap making it either too tight when standing, or too loose when bending over. Also, the stiffness shows up laterally which means that the suspender may not conform to the body and stay in position as well as one with less stiffness. When driving a tractor and frequently rotating my body in order to see what's going on behind me, I kept having to grab and adjust strap position on my shoulders in order to keep them from slipping sideways towards the ends of my shoulders. Full disclosure, my shoulders are not wide as some. Having said that, Perry's regular suspenders are a better choice, at least for me.

These Perry Ruff-N-Tuff “Y”-back, 2”-wide, belt hook, heavy-duty suspenders are exactly what I needed to hold up my work trousers without the sharp metal clips that chew holes in the waistband, chafe the edge of my truck seatbelt and scratch up chair and guitar backs.I used to sew an extra layer of denim cleats folded over the top edge of the waist band on all my work trousers for the suspender clips to bite into so they wouldn’t slip off, but they eventually did, so then I started clipping them over the top edge of the waistband and 1/8” x 1-1/2” leather belt, which did the trick, but chewed up my belt and didn’t keep the sharp edges from scratching seat and guitar backs or chaffing away a 1/8” deep x 3” long strip off the edge of the lap portion of my truck seatbelt webbing, which would cost $150 to replace! I also like the fact the whole length of these suspenders are heavy duty elastic for stretch and comfort, instead of just the lower back webbing of my old “X”-back suspenders . The heavy duty plastic clips stay attached to my new 1/8” thick x 1-1/2” wide leather belt while seated and work great!I’ve only worn them two days so far, so I don’t know how they’ll hold up so far as they elastic losing its stretch over time.

I own several pairs of Perry suspenders and will buy more in the future. I generally use the safety type and love the slip on clips. These clips are plastic and don’t damage vehicle seats or scratch a wood floor. I have become a real fan. The problem I have is with the Ruf-N-Tuf suspenders by Perry. For some reason the clips just aren’t as tight on my belt as the other Perry suspenders I have purchased. When I use the restroom they have a tendency to fall off my belt once I drop my trousers. This only happens with the Ruf-N-Tuf suspenders and not the other Perry suspenders I have purchased. Other than the loose clips I love em and would buy more if the clips were better.

Box store 2" suspenders are nothing like these. I was pleasantly surprised with the limited stretch on these suspenders. Just what I was hoping for and starting to think nobody offered. For actual support you need only enough stretch to allow for bodily motion. I put these on for the first time this morning, attached to a solid 1.5" leather belt, from which I hung a piece of heavy "gear". The belt did its job and the suspenders serve to limit any gravitational pull. Being attached to the belt spreads any pull from the suspenders much better than being attached to the pants. I also like the dual clip in the back, allowing a connection on both sides of a centered belt loop. I cannot speak for durability yet but I am very satisfied so far. No being a slave to fashion, I can imagine wearing these against the skin under an untucked T-shirt in the summer when extra support may be required.

Bought these for a friend at work. Cause I have two pair already and knew he'd thank me.This guy is "FAMOUS" or is it infamous for showing 'plumbers butt'. I didn't make a big deal about it, gave them on the sly, but did ask later if he'd tried my Christmas present and he said yea, and didn't need to pull his pants up anymore.It is really really nice not to be hiking your pants up all day long. You cinch them up just tight enough that they don't slip off your shoulders and you are good for the day.Over time the elastic gives, so you need to move the buckles up. My first pair started at a few inches above the belt and are now up to my shoulders, but it's been a few years and I got a way to go. Bought a clean pair to wear nice places.
