What are back suspenders?

Y–Back suspenders are so named because the two straps from the front come together, end at the crosspatch on the back, and then continue on in a single strap to attach at one point in the center of the back, forming a Y shape.

When you improve your posture, as suspenders have been proven to do, your entire skeleton and muscular structure work as it intended. You engage your core muscles, broaden your back, and even hold your head correctly. Posture, proper circulation and blood flow to your all of your muscles helps relieve back pain.

Do suspenders cross in the back?

How high should the back of suspenders be?

They should be placed so that on the backside of the waistband, they are located about 1″ either side of the center-back seam – meaning they’re 2″ apart – and 1″ or so below the top of the waistband. In front, hide them inside the waistband about 1″ down from the top and 2″ apart.

Do clip-on suspenders damage pants?

My primary piece of advice is NEVER wear clip-on suspenders. Not only do clips damage fabric, but all of the sophistication of the style is lost if you wear those metal clips — the kind created to attach children’s mittens to their snowsuits and to hold up a farmer’s denim overalls.
