    I don't know about you but I replace mine every two years just like Levi's recommends. Any idea what it could cost if you drop your pants because you were too cheap to buy new ones?? I think it's cheap insurance. Oh and don't forget when you do the belts you really need to do the little tensioner clips too!!

    On Bentleys they're referred to as braces.

    Suspenders should be changed when you unclip them and they take longer that 0.275 seconds to whap you in the back side of your legs.

    Jesus you guys are idiots. The suspender manufacturers are making a ton of money off people like you. I've gone over ten years with my original suspenders and have no problems what so ever. Have your tailor inspect and if they don't look frayed LEAVE THEM ALONE.

    As long as you're willing to be caught with your proverbial (and real) pants around your ankles.
