JimCem99[501st] Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebectrooper Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I use regular suspenders found at any clothing store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Try this for garters :---------- Edited January 16, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I think both the AM kits come with elastic / velcro for use as suspenders. These will work until you need to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolderMaster Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) 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!

blueboxer[501st] Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I picked up some black suspenders in the men's clothing section at Walmart for $6... worked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKittell[501st] Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I searched a long time for suspenders. Kohls had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimCem99[501st] Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Kohl's by me didn't have any. I got them at Walmart's; thanks again for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootch[TK] Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
