Leather suspenders

I have a problem keeping my pants/belt at my waist when carrying either my S&W 642 in my pocket or my Sig 220 in a IWB holster. Always seem to be hitching them up. The elastic on my suspenders stretch too much, and I'm the type that has no hips to keep belt up. Are there any leather suspenders without elastic on the market? does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks,
Joe

I like to carry heavy revolvers and sometimes use suspenders. Here is a link to the type I like. They aren't leather but for me they hold up my trousers without any sag even when carrying a GP100. Actually these Perry suspenders are sometimes available at Walmart.

Leather Suspenders

What a coincidence william, as I'm wearing Perry suspenders right now. they don't do the job, BUT I did go to their site and see they have a heavy duty pair that are twice the thickness as mine. Perhaps tha's the way to go.
Re. leather suspenders Terry? those shown have elastic which defeats the purpose unless it is very strong. I've looke at them before.
I was wondering if they made leather ones without the elastic?
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

How about these from MidwayUSA?

Looks like these also have elastic back straps, tho.

I don't think you will find any all leather suspenders.

There might be some out there, tho. Good luck with the search.

Yes Joe. Those 2" Perry work suspenders should hold up your trousers with guns or tools. At least they work for me m' friend.

If you want suspenders that do their job, buy a pair of Carhartt's.

Joe...which pair don't do the job? I like the look and theory of the Perry suspenders supporting the belt instead of the pants.

try Tonto Rim Trading Company Custom Hats. We cowboy action shooters wear leather suspenders quite often.

Some of the stores in this sass link page have some leather suspenders.

Also after a bit of searching found these clip on suspender buttons that look like they will attach to a belt (scroll to bottom)
