TX-8687[501st] Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 what do you prefer, actual clamp suspenders, or making your own elastic snaps suspenders???? if that made sense!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laspector[TK] Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Actual clamp suspenders for me. I cut four little slots in the top of the ab pieces (front and back) for the clamps to fit into. Also had to shorten the suspenders a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I use a mix of snaps and velcro nowadays on my suspender and attatchment system, works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nootch Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 just snaps for me, although i've had to reglue once or twice. since then i've reinforced with hot glue over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I didn't do suspenders. I just have short strips of elastic connecting all the torso pieces. The chest and ab have snaps so I can take them apart and adjust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-9820 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) I did a combo of button snaps and velcro on a home-made, adjustable suspender rig. I used an elastic cross-strap in the back and an adjustable cross-strap in the front for stability. All of the buckles and tri-glides are from REI. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh91/DVbucket/Costumes/Stormtrooper/IMG_2870.jpg ----------- Edited July 23, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk0000[501st] Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I use nylon straps and large snaps. I have an adjustable nylon belt with a plastic buckle for the waist. the leg straps tie onto it in a knot.... 2 snaps in front and 2 in back of thighs. There several snaps on the strap to make it adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm partial to the Dickies work suspenders. They don't have alligator clips, they have a plastic slot that you can either cut a slot on your armor and lock them on, or glue the plastic to the inside of your armor.
