Went to cabelas a few weekends ago, lookin at guns, ammo, blades and everything else. i picked up up a few items and one of them was a pair of suspenders. all i can say is WOW!!!! i'm a typical fat guy with a belly pushin my pants down and no butt to hold em up, you big boys know what i'm talkin about, anyways, i carry owb (another fat boy thing) so i always have a cover garment on and you can't tell i'm wearing the suspenders and they do a great job keepin my pants up, now all my belt does is hold my gun/ammo/blade against my body and i'm not pullin and yankin my pants up all day and they were only $14, just something to think about for you fellers out there

i suffer from "Dunlap's disease" too. Da belly dun laps overda belt. All the suspenders i tried use thin 14 guage sheet metal for the clip, and once it bends a few times it won't hold reliably. Not strong enough to support a .45 either. I don't like the idea of a belly band, airflow is good when its hot.

The Perry suspenders should solve you problem since the do not use the normal clips. The use and easy on/off hook that attaches to the belt supporting the belt from the bottom. Since the hooks are easily detached and reattached to the belt, you can change your pants without having to remove your sweater.

I have a pair of Perry Outback, they work quite well for my dunlap. I have not gotten them, but Duluth Trading Post has suspenders with loops and matching buttons which you nail into waist belt of pants. they look as though they would work well. you would need one pair of suspenders, and button sets for each pair of pants.
