Where to get strapping/suspenders for my AM TK armor?

[JimCem99[501st]]

Just wondering what type of strapping systems/suspenders does everyone get and where do you buy them? What works best? I need to get something soon to finish my armor in time for a couple of Christmas parades on 12/4. Thanks!

I use regular suspenders found at any clothing store.

Try this for garters :----------

I think both the AM kits come with elastic / velcro for use as suspenders. These will work until you need to upgrade.

I used 2 inch elastic belting from JoAnn Fabrics...part number 28605-1 . I glued velcro on one end of the straps and installed a single snap which connects to the ab. I put two strips of velcro on the kidney plate which allows me to adjust the straps quite nicely...

In this shot you can see the suspender snap in the lower right corner.

Hope that helps!

I picked up some black suspenders in the men's clothing section at Walmart for $6... worked great!

I searched a long time for suspenders. Kohls had them.

Kohl's by me didn't have any. I got them at Walmart's; thanks again for the suggestions.

I use the suspenders which are made for nail bags. I paint the leather black. Bolt the back to my kidney plate under my belt and glue two plastic tabs inside my ab plate to clamp the fronts to.
