Love my new suspenders

The clip has a spike in the middle that goes right through the pants material when you snap 'em. Wish I'd thought of that.

"Suspenders" has a whole different meaning across the Pond! I'm finding it hard to erase this mental picture of a large hairy woodworker in sussies and fish-nets!

I was guessing, "spanners," maybe, but that would be wrenches, wouldn't it? I know German is "Dertrouserholderuppers."

Frank, could you kindly elaborate for us dumb yanks? I'd not heard this one before; some sort of woman's undergarment? Girdle? Simple "panties?" Woodworking has opened so many unexpected doors to me.....

Inquiring minds want to know...

"Braces" in England, "galluses" in Scotland. Suspenders are what ladies (well, mostly!) use to hold up their stockings. Also ironically known as "Light Fighting Webbing" in the Services...

We call 'em "garters" over here.

And let's not get into the "router/router" (row-ter/roo-ter) thing...

$16.95 at Sox Outlet in Orland Park, IL. I'm conservative, got the faded camo ones, all the rest have the usual clever patterns.

GOOD price! I got mine at suspenders.com, usual waiver, Liberty and NO-Buzz. I have enough trouble go through metal detectors as it is. $13 and $16 or something like that. Dave in Fairfax
