Wiseguy Suspenders come standard with clip-ons

The loops set can be optionally ordered. It includes 3 handmade authentic nubuck leather loops, 8 signature hammer-on Wiseguy (W branded) buttons, 6 regular sew-in nylon buttons and needle and threat. We have also created a simple but effective “spacing” measurement indicator so you sew or hammer your buttons in the right spot on your trousers.

Our handmade authentic leather Wiseguy connectors make it possible to change your look any time from clips to loops and back.

When to wear clip-on suspenders:

  • For a slick and sharp office look
  • For a house party or casual night out
  • To turn any oversized trousers into protective/sporting workwear

 

Cons of wearing clip-on suspenders:

Over time, some clip fasteners can damage the waistband of your clothes, especially the “pin-clips” or “alligator clasps”, which feature little teeth that squeeze into the material for a stronger hold.

 

What button-on suspenders say about you:

  • You are a refined person attentive to details
  • You put an effort into sourcing and wearing quality garments
  • You care about your style and take time to achieve it
