Summary

Mork wore it the best.

His had flair before flair was cool. Then it was cool. But it wasn’t called flair until that movie.

For sure Mork had the best.

I prefer my belts, though. Good for whupping various neighborhood kids.

Well, they used to be good for that. They were sold at a police auction, for some reason.

The belts or the kids?

Well, the belts! What do I keep tabs on every young hooligan? Burlap sack or several.

I wouldn’t know!

But I liked those belts!

I never could figure out why firemen wore red suspenders. :frowning:

It was because velvet already took blue and yellow was taken by itsy-bitsy polka bedotted bikinis.

When my dad was still farming, he always wore suspenders. They weren’t special in any way. Just regular black suspenders.

The Golden Age of Suspenders starts and ends with Was (Not Was) starting around “Walk The Dinosaur” but ending with “Are You O.K.?” if I’m remembering right.

You got me thinking… suspenders-wearing characters that “appeared” on MST3K. I can think of:

  • Orville Redenbacher (aka Crow)
  • Urkel (aka Mike)

who else?

I think that if I had just a little less in the chest department, it’d be cool to wear suspenders. (No, I’m not built like Dolly Parton. But it’s still too much.)

I always appreciated the novelty of playing as King in the Tekken games because of his suspenders.

The sexy, one-strap-off-the-shoulder look has always been appealing.

Sloth rocked it.

He sure did. And had excellent taste in candy bars.

That does raise, and answer, the question: what if a man himself had significant pectoral development?

I think they have to be tucked off to the side, the suspenders/braces.

As Sloth demonstrates.

But where do you hang radios and various devices with such a getup?

Also, have to sew on, through heavy canvas or denim, interior buttons for braces, so as to not shorten the life of the pant.

Yes, I’ve been successful using very large hand needles/sailcloth needles sewing through thick material, but it’s a hassle.

I vote belts, for the win. Also for the keeping young hooligans off one’s property.

You know, for kids.
