leather suspenders

[Randy Cornelius]

I have not made a set of leather suspenders for a couple years and now I cannot find my pattern. Does anyone have a pattern or at least the measurements that they would be willing to share. I am making the kind with the heavy elastic in the back with the scissor snaps to go on the belt loops.

I could wing it, but with this helpful bunch I would think someone will have a pattern.

Thanks in advance.

There was a LCSJ article, but I cannot remember off hand the issue.

Hmmm. I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy. I think I'd leave the snaps off the two front "legs" and just loop my belt through the ends.

I'd actually like to take a crack at making a set of these myself if anyone still has a pattern they're willing to share?

Hey Mark, you dont happen to have a picture of how those have turned out do you? I would love to see a completed pair. Thanks!

HI here is a finished pair.

Looks good, Mark!

Anybody ever tried substituting bungee cords for the elastic? Done correctly it would look rather different. Three thin bungees instead of one wide piece of material.

Thank you! Those look great. A fashion accessory I have always wanted to make. I might give it a shot now. Thanks for the inspiration!

Has anyone tried using the same elastic used in sewing? I have done a few projects with it, The way I attach it is Glue paper around the end of the elastic Split the leather in half (Grain side VS Flesh side) slip the elastic between them glue the three pieces together and stitch......

Don't want to hijack the thread. So I will leave it saying good work on the pair posted. And thanks for the pattern

My grandpappy told me to never trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders, the man can't even trust his own pants (and no, I didn't get it from the movie, gpa was saying this back in the 60's)
