How Suspender Clips Work and How To Fasten Them

Suspender Styles

X-Back Suspender

• Need to find where on your body the strap meets the pants without having any fold, buckling or looping
• This will generally be 3-5" on either side of the center of your back
• Exact placement will vary with your build and dimensions

Y-Back Suspender

• Put the clip exactly in the middle of the top of the pants in the back, if there is no center rear belt loop
• Put the clip just to either side of the belt loop if there is a belt loop in the middle of the back of your trousers
