Very nice you will love them my man

Thanks Ttown! Looking forward to them.

This thing is cool.

This thing is cool.

That's one of my favorites so far. If only I was shorter....

I'd been circling that one. But I have a ton of outwear bought/on the way.. Are you planning on leaving the collar as is, or propping it up? I can't tell if the collar is too big to prop up..

I'm not much one for popping collars, so I'll definitely be leaving it as is.

Does anyone here routinely wear suspenders?

I've always turned away from them, visualizing Larry King. But some pictures I've seen, they do look cool in the right circumstance on younger dudes.

Thinking of maybe trying 'em out one day.

I wear them frequently.

I rock them but not regularly

That is how I would probably approach wearing them.

I'm curious as to what inspires you to wear them. The degree of formality of the event?

Just for formality & fun & to change things up. But I would agree with you age & how you look is a big factor at least in my humble opinion it's not for every one.

Suspenders are underwear and not meant to be seen, at least not really. Every pair of bespoke trousers I own are suspenders-only. They are all high-rise and a belt would be wrong, both visually and practically, and I dislike side-adjuster tabs. If you wear suspenders correctly, at some point you realize that you haven't hitched up your trousers in a while, unlike when wearing a belt.

It has nothing to do with formality of an event and everything to do with how I want my trousers to look.

Agreed with Andy, though I don't like the idea that they can never/rarely be seen, and would certainly not equate then with actual underwear. I know this is the traditionally held view of them, but I think it's fair to say that is an outdated one.

Note: that said, one should NEVER wear them sans jacket as an outfit. I will often pop my jacket off once I've been in the office for a bit (thus suspenders will naturally show), but I'd never start the day with suspenders and no jacket.

I've read that the Portuguese Flannel shirts run small, but how is the fit? Is it more trim or relaxed?

This is all sage advice and generally correlates to when I wear them. My suspender-reqdy trousers tend to be slightly more formal (don't think I've ever worn them with cottons or tweed) and higher rise.

Oh, and when I wear snuff suede or museum calf shoes- which seem to be a ***** to match properly with belts.

The comfort difference is off the charts. Belts were a step backward on that front.
