I need some suspenders, the clamp on kind since I have no buttons in my pants, would prefer American made. The business in my lower back is exacerbated by my belt. I am also looking for a quality all metal American made thermos, any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have a 1 qt made by THERMOS that is all steel except for the cup and stopper. I've had it for at least 20 years and its great. I also have one all steel made in Korea (cap & stopper plastic) 1/2 liter that has served me well for about 20 years that I bought from Coleman. Don't know about suspenders.
Nocona suspenders.

They use gate latches to hook to your belt loops. Not exactly high-brow, but they *never* come loose. All kinds of styles, leather, and patterns. I have had a pair for around 17 years, still look good as new. I wear them with my winter duds, and they are so comfy I forget I have them on.

Thank you very much! Just what I was looking for. Overalls are great, but not allowed to wear them to work.

Nocona suspenders.

They were invented by a saddle maker in Nocona Tx. Then they caught on, and everybody and their dog makes them now. Mine are plain harness leather, but you can get them jazzed up like a holster rig, with basketweave, carving, conchos, wild colors, the works. Get a work pair, and a Sunday pair.:)

Very comfy, but they make it too easy to scratch stuff in public.

The Suspenders I wear from time to time are elastic so

they do need replaced from time to time but they clamp on. And they are comfortable & functional. Wearing them I can carry my full size CZ75 inside my britches, strong side hip, butt rearward, no holster, all day & hardly pull on my britches.
Another item I love are Bib Overalls. They are very comfortable but a little hot for me come summertime. I cut trees my last 4 years of labor, sometimes running a saw 'bout 7 1/2 hours per day. There is nothing more comfortable than Bibs or britches & suspenders for that type work.

Might check Duluth Trading. I have seen suspenders in their catalog. They put out good ptoducts. You can look them up on line. I have an old Stanley Thermos. Not sure if they are made in China now but worth checking out. I love mine.
