Suspenders Made Especially for Big and Tall Guys
Dave from the SuspenderStore gives you a brief, yet highly informative overview on big and tall suspenders you can find when shopping for suspenders that comfortably fit your physique. Before you start watching, keep in mind that suspenders can only be shortened, not lengthened. This key fact is the reason why you don't want to try and squeeze into what most department stores and shops carry, which is the more common 48-inch length. Thankfully, with our Big and Tall Collection, you can easily find high-quality big and tall regular and heavy-duty suspenders to wear with your outfits.
When you watch SuspenderStore's video on big and tall suspenders, you will learn exactly how suspender length is measured. This is another thing to consider when you shop for suspenders in your size; understanding how suspender measuring works gives you an informed perspective on why smaller, one-size-fits-all suspenders won't work for you big and tall guys.
You'll also discover all the cool styles of suspenders offered in the 54- and 60-inch size range, including work, side clip, dress, button styles and more. Why, there are even airport-friendly suspenders that won't set off the metal detectors when you fly. So, what are you waiting for? Go watch!
More Tips from Dave About Big and Tall Suspenders
Today we are going to talk about big and tall suspenders - suspenders for the really big guys. Most stores are only going to carry one size suspenders - that would be 46 or 48 inches long. The suspenders are measured from tip to tip, and the given size is the length of the suspenders fully extended, fully let out.
48-inch-long suspenders, which we also call "large," fit most guys between say about 5"8" and 6'1" or 6'2". Of course, it all depends on their build. You can have a guy who is 5'10" and weighs 240, and they might be too short for him. I'm 5'9", weigh 175, and I am wearing 48s.
The next larger size above the 48-inch-long suspenders are 54-inch suspenders. Manny the mannequin is wearing those. Manny is 6'2" tall and medium build. You can see in this video where the adjusters end up on him.
Now, this is important: If a store is claiming to carry big and tall suspenders, it almost always means that they are carrying 52- or 54-inch suspenders. They call them "big and tall"; we call them "extra large."
54-inch-long suspenders will fit someone who is up to about 6'5" and has a medium build. We have a wide selection of suspenders in the 54-inch length, probably more than anyone. So once again, what everyone else calls "big and tall," we call "extra large."
Our big and tall is bigger and taller than anyone else's. Those suspenders are 60 inches long. They are for guys who are taller than 6'5", or maybe over 6 feet with a very large of build.
We carry basic colors in the 60-inch length, in a variety of styles, including 2-inch-wide and 1.5-inch-wide clip suspenders, button suspenders, airport-friendly suspenders, Perry belt clip suspenders, side clip suspenders and work suspenders.
We are in the process of expanding our color selections in some of these categories. Also, many of our hand-tooled leather Western suspenders are available to be custom made for really big guys for a modest extra fee.
So, that is the long and short of it regarding our big and tall suspenders! If you have any additional questions about our Big and Tall Collection, or any other questions about suspenders, contact us at SuspenderStore!
