Pants retention?

[pvicenzi]

To those that carry a lot of stuff in your pockets: Do yo do anything special to keep your pants up? When I carry a single large knife, such as an SMF, I notice that I have to constantly hike up my pants. I think I would loose the battle if I added all the other EDC stuff.

Have you considered EDCing a belt?

 

[pvicenzi]

I always wear a belt.

 

[singularity35]

I use one of those stiff "tactical" belts. They do the job well enough.

Have you tried suspenders? Not that I need them personally, I find the combination of a belt and an expanding waistline holds my pants up fine!

 

[jdm61]

LOL. Classic. How quickly will your belt "deploy?"

Or these..

Or.......(almost puking) these....

That works well, untill the waisline expands to a larger size than the hips. Suspenders would work, but some smart a** always thinks it's funny to snap em..

Some things can't be unseen.

Leiderhosen always remind me of a cartoon I saw years ago: Hitler and his generals are standing around in Hitler's Bavarian eerie. The Fuhrer remarks "Und next week we vill have ze night of ze long trousers!"

Yes, used to wear them when I was young and it's a constant problem!

Suspenders are something very different over this part of the planet, something a guy should not wear.......

Braces!

It's the same here. The phrase 'belt and braces' means to be doubly careful or protected.

I hasten to add that it was braces I was talking about!

Are you refering to the things that hold up a womans silk stockings?

I believe the phrase is garter-belt!

 

[akula83]

I sometimes use a holster or pouch attached to my belt for a heavier knife when I can cover it up with a jacket or shirt.

 

[jayinhk]

Just tighten your belt!

 

[Jack Black]

Just tighten your belt!

That's what the UK government keeps saying! If my belt gets any tighter I'm going to fall in half!

 

[pvicenzi]

One can only tighten his belt so far before real solutions become necessary.
