Welch Suspenders The Welch Company has been manufacturing suspenders in Portland,
Oregon, since 1967. Their suspenders are recognized for quality and reliability.
Traditionally, in the Northwest, anyone showing up to join a logging crew wearing a belt
instead of suspenders was sent home as too green to work with the crew.
We offer a selection of Welch suspenders to suit a variety of needs. The elastic in each
suspender is the best of its type, and each is selected for stretch and wear characteristics
to suit the specific style of suspender. All Welch suspenders are made in the USA.
Ends Leather ends are flat and riveted to swivel so they may fit well. The leather used
is the same oil-tanned leather used in the uppers of the best logging and work boots of
the Northwest. It is strong, durable, and supple, allowing easy attachment to buttons. The
oversized Gator Clip is firm and reliable, nickel plated to withstand the weather.
Suspender Sizing Suspender length is measured from the suspender buttons or clip
ends on the front over the shoulder to that on the back on the opposite side.
The Regular (46") suspenders adjust from 46 inches to about 38 inches, and generally fit
people under 6 feet tall. The Extra Long (54") suspenders adjust from 54 inches to about
42 inches. Those under 6 feet tall may prefer the Extra Long suspenders if they have a
larger girth or wish to keep the adjustment clasp up relatively high on their torso.
X or Y The choice between “Y” Back or “X” Back suspenders is primarily a matter of personal
preference. The same suspender button spacing is used for both styles, so the two
styles can be used interchangeably. Some folks feel the “Y” Back style is more comfortable
if you are engaged in heavy physical activity which involves sideways movement of the
torso, such as swinging a scythe. However, in most circumstances there is little difference
in functionality between the “X” Back and “Y” Back suspenders.
