Button and Clip Suspenders vs Convertible Button or Clip-On Suspenders

Both are convertible suspenders that clip or button, so the real choice is width and length. The Button and Clip Suspenders are wider at 1 3/8 inches, run to 48 inches, come in 18 colors and include six sew-on buttons, which suits taller wearers and anyone matching an outfit. The Convertible Button or Clip-On pair is narrower at 1 1/4 inches, tops out around 42 inches, has genuine leather trim and arrives gift boxed, so it fits shorter frames and makes the better present. Owners of both types report the clips are the first part to wear, and the wider strap carries weight more comfortably.

• Choose the Button and Clip Suspenders if you are tall, want a wider strap or a specific color, and need buttons included for pants that lack them.
• Choose the Convertible Button or Clip-On Suspenders if you are shorter than about 6 feet, prefer leather trim, or want a gift-boxed pair in black.
