How to Measure the Correct Length for a Shoulder Strap for Holding Up Trousers
- 1). Wear the type of pants that you want to use when you have the suspenders on. If you want to wear suspenders on a daily basis, make sure you wear your most common style of pants.
- 2). Ask a friend to measure you with the tape from the top of your right belt loop and over your shoulder down to the top of the center back loop on your pants, as suggested by the Hickman Suspender website.
- 3). Write down the measurement and take it with you when you shop or browse online for suspenders.
- 4). Compare the measurement to the sizing chart on the suspenders and purchase the size that is comparable to your measurement or the next size larger, if it does not have your exact measurement.
