Side by Side Comparison of: Dockers vs Dickies vs Platinum Hanger

I wore suspenders as a child and putting on a pair now felt a little nostalgic. Being this is my first outing with the Dockers brand suspenders they wore comfortably, were easy to attach and adjust.. The neutral Khaki color wears well with a variety of outfits. Maybe you're looking for a change from the waist belt and belt loop routine, give these a try. A pair in your wardrobe would come in handy in case of a belt or belt loop failure.

I'm a very large man (6'2", 320lbs) and these are one of the highest quality suspenders I've used - they hold my pants well, don't slip, and never got uncomfortable. The clamps look similar to another relatively cheap pair I've purchased but these hold much better and don't feel as flimsy. I'll update this in a few months if I can remember.

Very nice but after wearing for a few weeks the clips started failing. This is especially frustrating as you either have to get someone to re-clip or lower your pants. Disappointed they do not grip better.

These are snappy looking, hold up well under daily use, and look great in the navy color. "Tough tested" by hubby, shopped for by me. :)

great product. This is the third set of dockers suspenders that I have bought -- not because they failed, but because it is easier to have a few and not have to keep changing from pants to pants. What I like is that they are not too big, but very effective in keeping the pants up. Also like the nylon round disc in the heads of the clamp -- seem to hold tightly yet NOT damage the fabric. Very good product

I thought that these were better than expected. They hold well, are well made, and look good. I will buy these again.

Great suspenders, I have 5 units of the same, one for each type of pants. That way I do not have to move them between pants except when they get washed. Be aware of getting in the car or sitting somewhere, the rear clips can catch and come loose. Worst case is when the rear clip comes apart and the three clip pieces get scattered. To help protect from this situation, take a long nose pliers and tighten up the hinge points from the front side when the hinge is open. One of mine came apart, 1 piece was found 5 blocks away on my dog walk and the other 2 pieces were much later located under the car seat, lucky I saved all the pieces and could reassemble the unit.

Bought these for my husband to wear with our old hollywood engagements and wedding! He is a big guy so I was worried that they would be to small. But they fit perfect and looked great. He said he will even wear them after the wedding!

Haven't worn these since the 80s when they were all the rage in sitcoms. (Michael Landon, as "Pa" on Little House on the Prairie, John Boy on The Waltons, and Grandpa Jones on Hee-Haw didn't start the craze, btw). These were worn back in the 80s because they were comfortable and were something different than the usual fashion. Even the gals wore them!! These particular suspenders are well made and fit perfectly. Snaps hold tightly and are of good quality. Black looks great with most of what I wear, but I'll be buying several different colors and styles very soon. Try a pair!!! Go ahead, be different! Be yourself!!! Free yourself from the tyranny of belts and belt loops!! Suspenders are not that expensive. You will love how easy they are to wear and how much more comfortable they make you feel. They look just as good in the office as they do outdoors!!!

The clips are strong and have teeth that grip. So far none have slipped off and whipped me in the eye like the weak-gripped suspenders I wore previously.

Received them today to hold up my "work pants'. I have to dress for work and I have started wearing suspenders in the past 18 months as they made more sense than the belts I have been wearing all these years. While they feel a bit strange the very first time you put them on, you get "used to them" in about an hour or so. NOW. I won't got back to belts except for some casual needs.As for these suspenders. I read other reviews of this and OTHER brands that seemed raise concerns as to sizes for people of 6 feet or more. NO PROBLEM with these. IF you don't wear suspenders, you will understand with SOME pair. you tend to expand them the farthest (or close to it) when you first get them. After some normal stretch and understanding the actual "tension" you want on our pants to hold them up, eve you begin to adjust to THAT tension. With these. I have about six inches adjustment AFTER finding the right tension. I am also considered "long waisted" by some. Therefore I believe fit on these is good for folks up to 6'.5".They are GOOD Quality. I WOULD highlight that ONE reviewer did make a comment as to the part that clips to your pants made marks on a leather car seat. These clips are bigger than dress suspenders and I COULD see how that could happen. If this is a concern, you need to consider this

I read through the reviews when I was ordering. I had worried a little about the number of posts that the suspenders were too short.I'm 5'11" and weighing in at 370 lbs. I carry a lot of that weight in my belly. The el cheapo suspenders I got at a big block retailer were stretched to their limits, and every time I bent down to pick something up, the back clips would come off and fly over my head. I had seen Dickies at the same store, but only the ones that hooked up to the belt. My large belly puts much stress on belts, that's why I wanted to find suspenders, so that wasn't an option.I got these. Fears be quelled. The adjusters work just like it states in the Amazon description. Pull them up (though you might have to move them back if they are catching in the fabric) and slide to the new position, then lock down, and push the back bar flat.As for those "too small" reviews. Nonsense. The size marked is 1S (for One Size, duh). And I have about 8 inches to go on mine before they max out in length. So maybe if you are 6'7" and over 450 lbs, you "might" have an issue. Otherwise no.The clips grab well. I have not had them come off my pants or shorts unless *I* wanted to remove them. And that includes $60 in quarters (I hate laundry day.)They hold my pants up. They stay attached. They a great pair of suspenders for anyone who wants suspenders to hold their pants up.I've been rocking these guys for a month now. I'm one very satisfied customer.Thanks for listening to my review. I stated a lot of personal information because I want to be clear that I'm really putting these things through a test. And yes, I am currently working on loosing weight, and doing a good job. These suspenders make it easier to walk when I know my pants are going to stay up. :)

The clasps are pretty strong: I didn't give myself enough length during my first try-on, and ended up nearly giving myself a wedgie, rather than having a strap unclip itself or fly off. The suspenders are pretty easily adjustable, as well.

its just generic material, but it wont break on you anytime soon and is adjustable. its slightly difficult to align the silver parts.

Seems solidly constructed, and the clamps hold on tight without slipping. The length adjustment bars maybe aren't the greatest, but that's pretty much what you expect on any set. I would buy these again.

Bought this for a friend and he never complained.Can't give 5 stars because he never said "awesome".Can't give 1 star because he never said "these suck".Giving 4 stars because they seemed just fine but not awesome.

We used these suspenders for a Halloween costume and were happy with them for this purpose. My husband is 6'2 and 200 pounds and they expanded to fit him well.

I've just begun wearing suspenders and have had a lot of trouble finding something comfortable, functional and that look good. Even though these are a touch short for me (I'm 6 ft, 300 pounds) and I would prefer something a little narrower, they are the best I've tried so far. The clips are far superior to the half a dozen other types I've tried. This is the first suspender that DID NOT pop off my pants while I was wearing them. These are X suspenders and I prefer Y. If I could find some Y suspenders with the same clips as these and were a little narrower, that would be perfect.

I bought these to hold up a pair of used motorcycle pants I bought that are one size too big. They work just fine. Some reviews talk about them being cheaply made and yes, they are not the finest, but I have no issues with them. But then I just put them on the pants and that is where they stay. I do not clip and unclip them to put on other pants. I also do not have a gut to deal with. If you are looking for heavy duty suspenders then probably get something else. But if you want to just spend a few bucks for some to use lightly then these will do the trick.

This is the first set of suspenders for me. Once I figured out how to "fix" (tighten, hold) the adjustment straps, they worked fine--much better than a belt.I deleted one star because the first set had a defective part, but 2 days later Amazon had sent a replacement. Good job, Amazon.

I love these, they are comfortable, and hold my pants up well, although I also have a problem with the clips, after a few days I had the clips came apart. I was able to get them back together and use them but it has happened several times. I wish they would make a better clip that doesn't come apart. and the suspenders were not tight on me when this happened. I got out of my car the other day, and it happened again and I ware a shirt over them. They should come with extra clips if they are not going to make better clips for them.

These work great and hold my pants up nicely. I've had them for about a month and they still grip my pants well. I can notice that the clamps are starting to lose grip or bite.The clamps catch my undershirts occasionally, I have a big gut, and now most my undershirts have holes where the two front clamps are. I wear them over my undershirt and under my outer shirt.I think they may be a bit too thick but that's on me. They are easy to adjust, even while wearing them.

The suspenders are very sturdy. The metal clips have a strong teeth set that grab the pants nicely. The adjustable length clips are also well designed and sturdy. I bought the green set, they were more of a tan green than the green shown in the picture. Not a big deal for me, but that's why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Overall, very pleased with these suspenders.

Could be 5 star, but need more time to determine how durable... My past experience with suspenders is for holding up a work belt and those have almost no stretch. The Dickies have a lot of elasticity. This makes it easy to leave them attached front and back and just stretch them over the shoulders when putting pants on/off. The end result feels a little less secure, but so far no problems. I have worn these suspender about 10 times wearing casual cloths ... walking shorts that are a little too big. The suspenders allow me to hook up my belt to take up some of the waist extra material, but not so much to bunch at the waist. This is the application for which I purchased these, I still wear just a belt for pants that are snug enough that my belt can be tight without bunching up the waist material of the pants.

Basically a child's suspender set sold as one size fits all. Nice suspenders but not adequate for adult wear.

My husband likes these suspenders. But, when they are new, they are very hard to do/undo. And then when they become easier to use, they don't stay attached after about 3 months. Even so, we purchased again because he likes the way they look.

Decent quality and looks good. Dad likes them so much that he's worn them every single day for the last year, but the elastic has started to stretch and show elastic threads coming out, after less than a year. His old ones (sorry, I don't know what brand), lasted several years, before showing this much wear.

The suspenders were nice and comfortable for the first two weeks, after that one of the frontal clips started to un-clip and it was impossible to use them for more than an hour without having to re-attach it.

These are difficult to attach securely. The crocodile fasteners are too small and don't have much clamping force. I also bought a e=set of Dickies and they are much better.

I bought these because of the design of the clips. I wear suspenders every day and the "no-slip" clips with a pin in them that so many other suspenders use tear up the waistband of a pair of slacks pretty quickly. These do not have pins in the clips, just plastic designed to hold by the strength of the clip. I know that the clips will lose strength over time and start to slip, but it's cheaper to replace suspenders than buy several pairs of pants because of shredded waistbands. The elastic on these suspenders and the adjustment clips are somewhat cheaply-made, but the suspenders look nice and do the job they're supposed to do and for the price I paid, that's about as much as I could ask.

Husband s a logger and it lasted only a couple weeks. The clips always pooped off and eventually broke. Wouldnt purchase these again. Went with Carhartt.

The adjustment devices tend to pop open no matter how hard you press them down. My wife had to remove the adjusters and stitch the straps together for a fixed length. Works great now, but the suspenders only fit me, and of course there could be a problem if I gain any weight or grow any taller, the former being likely and the latter being unlikely.

Bought a pair and was impressed with its performance and simplicity. Easy to install and remove. Holds well. Bought a second pair.THEN, after a few weeks, one of the clasps on the first pair came apart. I did not notice right when it happened, so I lost the parts to it. I said "huh" and switched to the second pair. After about 4 weeks of daily use, the exact same thing happened. One clasp came apart. I lost one piece of it. But, now I had an old set for spare parts, and I used to fix the new set.So, these were, for me, a buy two, get one proposition. I think I'll look for something nicer and more expensive.

This is a very good product, I was having a lot of difficulties finding good suspenders for my husband in stores so thought, what the heck bet Amazon has them. Well they do, liked them so well we ordered another pair.Update. The suspenders are great, but I finally discovered the cause of the deep scratches on the leather seats on the driver side of two of our vehicles, both fairly new vehicles. It was the clasps on the suspenders!!! BEWARE if you have leather car seats, these will ruin them!!!I was able to help the black leather some with shoe polish but the gray leather seats (on the new Arcadia) are beyond repair!!!!

They are indeed 8 inches shorter than any other suspenders that I own when they are all extended full length. Many say they are just right and some say they are too short. Perhaps there is a quality control issue we don't know about. For me they are too short.The adjustment clips on these suspenders do not close for me. Maybe there is something I am doing wrong, but I have never encountered this problem on a new pair of suspenders in the 60 some years I've been wearing suspenders.The material is robust and the alligator clips seem more substantial than most I have encountered. All I have to do now is figure out how to get the adjustment clamps to actually work.

That's what it looks like.This is my first pair of suspenders so I cannot compare to older versions. I wanted to like these, I really did. When I opened the package yesterday I was pleased at the look and feel of this product. I read how many have had problems with the clips so I checked mine out closely and they seem fine. They clipped on and off with no problem and the 'axel' if I can call it that, is protruding from each side so there wasn't any damage showing.On they went and I went walking. Sure hold up the pants well. A little too well, and that's where I ran into trouble. When I went to adjust the front length one of the sides seemed to be stuck. When it did release and I re-adjusted the length all seemed fine . . . until I returned from my walk and took off my vest. Then I see this very visible run going across the suspender where one of the threads must have been hung up. Now I have a new pair of suspenders that looks like they need to be donated to Goodwill.Not a happy suspender owner, but will live with it.

After just a couple wearing the clip gives and comes off. Useless if they don't stay on.

The left front clip will not stay closed. It pops loose about once an hour.

These are my first suspenders and I loved them from the start, UNTIL 6 weeks later. The clips would come loose and pop from my waist at terrible times. It is very embarrassing when the let go and pants are no longer supported. I was uncertain at first about wearing them and found myself looking good with them on. I won't wear them anymore due to this issue and I am beyond time to return for refund. I have only had them 6 weeks. I do NOT recommend them.

These are narrower than the more typical 1.5 inch and the khaki is quite pale, more like a light tan. The clips are very small and unlikely to withstand much stress. These might be good as a decorative accessory for women, but not useful for me. I'm sending them back. I recently bought a pair with the identical name from Amazon which I liked so much I thought I'd buy another. Very disappointing.

The clasps on these suspenders are way too weak. I found myself constantly re-attaching the clasps after as short as a half hour and after using them for only a couple of days.Pros: They look good, are effective in holding your pants up, the clasps are plastic so they don't rip or pierce your clothingCons: Clasp is so week you will need to re-attach them constantly

I like suspenders, so I wear them when I can. I ordered these because my wife thought I should have something slightly more dressy than my usual rainbow suspenders when I'm out and about (I'm a professional clown, so suspenders are often part of my wardrobe). So I got these Dockers. They would be OK, but the clips are small, making them difficult to clip and VERY hard to unclip. Had to send them back. I got a pair of 2-inch black suspenders from a clown site and my wife is happy (sort of).

Started out fine but within a couple weeks they started stretching out and needed daily adjustment. When I first started using them the adjuster was just a couple inches above my pants. Within 3 weeks they were stretched so far the adjuster was almost to my shoulder.

I'll never buy another pair of suspenders without an adjustable X. These have the X set so low that it allows them to slip off the shoulder easily. The clips, however, are of excellent quality.

I usually like Dickies products, but these are made kinda cheaply. The adjustment clips don't stay secure. Made in the Dominican Republic.

These are pretty cheaply made, and I have to say I was fooled by the picture on Amazon. The teeth on the clips are huge and sharp and I feel like they damage the pants I put them on and should be less vicious... the adjustment hardware on the straps do not catch very easily and feel and look very cheap. Don't waste your money on these, you should look for something else perhaps a little more expensive to ensure you get the quality you want and don't damage the pants you attach these to.

Like many older men, I have a belly. A belt has to be tightened, so tight, to keep my pants up, that my back hurts and stomach gets upset. Okay, I thought I would try suspenders. In general, these suspenders work exactly as one would expect them to. However ... there are so many sharp edges on the spring clips and adjustment flanges, my hands are constantly sore from being abraded. C'mon guys, I know you're trying to control expenses, but you have to de-burr your metal edges to keep from cutting skin that brushes against them. Overall, I bought three pairs, in different colors and initially really liked them. After having the product for a month or more, I have to stop wearing them because my hand is so sore. I would like to return this product for a refund.

I have worn suspenders on my jeans for years, and recently the pair I've worn for five years finally gave up the ghost. The stitching gave out, and as we live in a largely disposable society, I reasoned it would be simpler and cheaper to just replace them rather than repair them. In retrospect, the time I spent looking for new suspenders would have been better spent researching good tailors.One of the "jaws" never did hold for long, and today, after I accidentally dropped the suspenders on the floor, that hinge actually broke. Let me repeat that, for this is a sentence you don't read very often: Dropping my suspenders less than four feet onto the floor broke them. Dickies, I thought you were of higher quality than this.Pros: Actually worked semi-well for three weeks of irregular use. Elastic belts made them more comfortable.Cons: More fragile than you would expect the metal hinge on suspenders to be, although to be fair it's still less fragile than a sheet of ice in August.Overall: I gave it two stars because I only give a product one star if it fails to work at all.

Three of the four metal clamping mechanisms came apart as I removed the item from the bag. At $14 it's not worth the time or effort to send back for a refund. I threw the item in the trash.

I'm surprised that these suspenders got a good rating. They're crap. I could live with everything else. But plastic teeth? Why did they make them with plastic teeth?Today, day 5. They are already pulling free when I bend over to pick something up off the floor. And not just once. I refastened and tried several times. These crappy suspenders are already useless. Not only will I never buy them again, but I will also not buy ANYTHING from a vendor willing to dump this garbage on their unsuspecting customers.Great if you want to wear them to a wedding and toss them in the trash afterwards.

Cheap. Clasp broke on the first wear. I wasn't expecting a miracle for $15, but they lasted about 6 hours.

Purchased these for an elderly aunt (79), who has a severe curvature of her spine, making it difficult to find pants/slacks that will stay up. Unfortunately, the clasps were too difficult for her to open. Gave them to my dad, who also could not get these open (he's 80). I then gave them to my husband (57) to try and open and he couldn't. I tried and after several attempts, was able to get one side open. For younger/nimble fingered individuals, they would be fine. But for older, arthritic/weaker hands, they are a no-go.

Every once and a while you run across something that's just junk; this is one such item. Right out of the package, one of the snap closures just fell apart. After trying several times to put it back together, I was successful. The snap closure would never be the same however, and I decided just to scrap it all together. If I could rate this zero stars, I would have.

The suspenders themselves are fine, but the hardware isn't good. The adjustable buckles don't hold, and the clip-on part doesn't last. Didn't even get a month out of them before a clip broke. Also chairs easily unbuckle them.

These suspenders have really sharp metal teeth on the clips. When I opened the clips the first time to adjust the straps the teeth pulled threads out of the straps. Now each side has threads sticking out. When I closed the clips on my pants I clamped down on my shirt which punched a whole through the shirt under one of the clamps. The clip teeth are sharp enough to be on a handsaw. I wonder how long my pants will hold up under these teeth?

Nice suspenders, am 5'10 and 250 and they fit great. My complaint is that I ordered two of these and the clips were stuck into the straps. I have several pairs and am familiar, but these were really buried. Upon opening the clasp I found out that the clips had cut into the straps on the left side and it left a big snag. They work, but I have two big snags that show.

The fat man I bought these for hasn't dropped his pants in public since we got them. Everybody wins.Update: after wearing them 4 or 5 times one of the clasps broke. It's a shame. They worked so well right up until they didn't work at all.

Suspenders arrived with another order [ web belt ]....neatly pkg'ed but ' cut ' into three { 3 } pieces ! ! ! As facetiously as possible , cut into 3 pcs and carefully folded and placed into sml taped plastic bag...Product fell out and onto table in three separate pieces ! A disgruntled employee perhaps ? Anarchist ? Likely both . Wish I could give it a minus rating but....

Do not buy these!!!! I can't believe how crappy these actually are! The "sizing" clasps won't bite at all! No matter what size I try to put them at. No luck. Bought them for the hunting season which was over 30 days and cannot return now...awesome! DO NOT waste your money!

the adjustable "sliders" (for length) never worked. could never use them even once. sadly, first tried them on a pair of trousers several days after delivery, had thrown packaging (an envelope) away by the, so could not return them-- shippiong costs in return would be almost as much as the price anyway- first disappointment with Amazon, but thankfully a small ticket item compared to other purchases.
