(Southfield, MI notice of US patent approval- 1990) -- Creating a suspender that actually did what it was supposed to do became an obsession with Sal Herman. Only after he got a patent for a new snap-on suspender clip did he learn that his design was the first major update to this very common menswear item in more than a century.

Did you know that thousands, perhaps even millions of men have a tangle of slightly worn suspenders tucked away somewhere because the clips won't hold? One industry source says more than three million pairs of suspenders are sold each year. Unfortunately most of these don't last long. The clips give out quickly and the wearer must bend them frequently with pliers, or consign them to a junk pile. How often do the competitive brands, used by most tuxedo rental firms, hold up to just one day's wear and tear??

Even when they are new, users are constantly reattaching their suspenders, or bending the clips to make them hold better. Enter Sal Herman. a suspender aficionado (yes, there are many!). Driven by the frustration of inefficient clips that constantly let go, Herman applied a little American ingenuity to create a solution . . . the "No-Slip Suspender Clip". Thus was born the Hold-Up Suspender Company.

For the consumer, the No-Slip Suspender Clip means a lifetime guarantee of no more slipping, or bending clips, or worse yet, throwing away a perfectly good pair of suspenders. The patented design is based on one distinct difference - the addition of a center pin that works like a needle to lock into the waistband without cutting or tearing the fabric. The result, Herman says, is a clip that absolutely cannot slip -slide or fly off your pants.
For workers, sportsmen, or the casual wearer who rely on suspenders, the No-Slip suspender eliminates the annoying problem of clips that slip constantly from the slightest twist or pressure. The No-Slip also eliminates the need to "fix" the clips by bending them with pliers. We now have the original patented "finger clip" in a heavy duty JUMBO clip line. These are for our NEW -2x4- Outdoorsman and Contactor series suspenders with 2" wide straps and extra holding power no matter the load.

Herman believes his new suspenders will grab hold of the public as well as they hold onto a pair of pants. Speaking of pants. Holdup Suspenders is introducing a Patent Pending designer blue jean line called Sloops™ which are specifically designed for suspender wearers. The Perfect Equation in Fashion will be Sloops™ jeans worn with our new Double-Ups button-on style suspenders. Once you try them on there's no letting go. We are seeking new applications for our patented clip and you can post your ideas here and win a FREE pair of Holdups.
