Suspenders Size Guide

Choosing the correct size of suspenders is essential to ensure comfort, fit, and style. This guide will provide you with all the information you need to select the right size of BRUCLE suspenders.

BRUCLE suspenders come in a standard size of 120 cm and are designed to fit various body types thanks to the front adjustment systems.
In general, BRUCLE's standard size fits a person up to 190 cm tall and of average build.
But how do you measure the size of suspenders?

How to measure suspenders

To correctly determine the size of your suspenders, simply follow these steps:

  • Measure the distance between the front belt loop and the rear belt loop of your trousers by passing a tailor's tape over your shoulder.

Standard size suspenders

If the measured distance is 120 cm or less, you can order any BRUCLE suspenders, whether elastic suspenders or silk suspenders, in the standard 120 cm size.

BRUCLE suspenders in the standard 120 cm size are suitable for all sizes, for both men and women, up to an approximate height of:

  • around 190 cm if worn with button tabs;
  • around 185 cm if worn with clips.

For those taller than this, we always recommend measuring your suspenders as described before requesting a custom size.

Adjustment and fit

Thanks to the two adjusters on the front straps, suspenders can be adjusted to always fit perfectly once worn.

The fit is designed to offer stability and comfort for daily use.

Custom sizes and personalization

If the measured length exceeds 120 cm, you can always request the "Custom Size" option as a personalization.

On the product page you can select the desired Custom Size, for example:

  • suspenders 130 cm;
  • suspenders 140 cm.

We will then tailor the suspenders to meet your needs. For lengths over 140 cm (up to 160 cm), please contact us.

Differences between materials

Elastic suspenders

Elastic BRUCLE suspenders are measured as indicated above and are available in the standard 120 cm size, adjustable via front regulators.

Silk and fabric suspenders

Silk and fabric suspenders are measured like elastic ones and have the same sizes. In these models, only the back strap is elastic.

This gives silk or fabric suspenders a softer effect, especially when seated.

Leather suspenders

BRUCLE leather suspenders feature two rigid straps in soft calfskin leather, which are not adjustable in the front. Like silk models, they have an elastic and adjustable back strap.
Leather suspenders come in 4 sizes: 90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm.
The elastic back strap allows for an adjustment of approximately 15 cm shorter.
For example, the 120 cm size covers measurements from 120 cm to 105 cm.

BRUCLE recommends wearing the trousers you plan to use with the suspenders and measuring the distance between the front and rear belt loops as indicated above. That measurement is the one to order.
