Abstract

Suspenders having a pair of strap members particularly for wearing under outer garments. At least one side of each of the strap member has loop members thereon which mate with pieces of hook-type material secured adjacent one end of each of the strap members. The pair of strap members are connected together to allow fasteners to the wearer's pants with just two fastener members. Adjustment buckles are eliminated.
