Need some new suspenders

[Robo 0]

Hey everyone,

New sign up for the site. Enjoyed the help the info on here gave me looking for a new helmet/visor. Went with the E700 and Oakley Pro Straight small.

Anyway,

I have some older Graf pants I got about 10 years ago while I was playing competitive hockey. Always had suspenders on them. Just a cheap white pair but the rubber attachments keep breaking on them.

I'm looking for a heavy duty pair that will last a bit longer than a season. Also if there is any pair that has any type of snap system to hold the straps together at the front that would be great too!

Recommendations on what suspenders and where I can get them would be really helpful!

Thanks

Robo

If you have a local show repair shop, they may be willing to make some leather ends for you. You could probably rig something up by trimming an old leather belt to size and putting holes in it as well.

I was just about to post that I'm always looking for a better pair of suspenders too then I thought I'd google it:

I've had good luck with Easton suspenders. I tried the Reebok suspenders, and they broke the first time I used them. I went back to the Eastons, and they're still going strong.

If you want good leather suspenders, you could try leather fireman's suspenders. http://www.thefirestore.com/store/category.cfm/cid_714_leather_suspenders/

I was thinking more of leather ends than making the whole thing out of leather.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas. I'm gonna try to get some leather ends made up, noticed one of the clips on the pants broke so I gotta get that put back in as well, sigh
