Too many fish in the sea



Most suspenderbelts are crap. Cheap materials and lousy stitching, made to be worn for one hot date and then forgotten. Comfort and durability has been discarded in favour of making a garment that only looks like the real thing. Those of us who wear stockings daily have learned this by trial and error. The picture here shows my favourite suspenderbelt, and it´s also the first one i purchased for myself. I bought it from Figleaves in 2005 and have since then replaced two of the clasps when the rubber broke. It´s comfy, sits well on the hips and the adjusters doesn´t slide. The model is callad "Belle" and i´ve forgotten the brand, but if i could find more i would certainly stock up on a few. For £22 it was a bargain.

(of course there are exeptions: The suspenderbelts sold by SHQ are great. Just don´t buy the cheap Jonathan Astons they offer!)
