Pin Clip Suspenders
Clip Suspenders That Won't Let Go
Regular clips are easy to use, but on heavy pants or a busy workday they can pop off at the worst moment. Pin clip suspenders fix that. Each clip has small pins inside the jaw that press into the fabric when it closes, so the clip locks onto your waistband instead of just squeezing it. You get the quick on and off of a clip with a hold that keeps up with real work.
Made in the USA to hold through a full workday.
How pin clips work
How a Pin Clip Grips
Open the clip, place it over the top of your waistband, and press it closed. The small pins inside the jaw catch the fabric, so when you bend, lift, or climb, the clip pulls against the pins instead of sliding along the cloth. That's the difference between a clip that holds and one you keep re-clipping all day.
Pin Clip vs. Regular Clip
Regular clip suspenders use teeth that grip the surface of the fabric, which works well for everyday wear and dress pants. Pin clips add pins for a stronger hold on thick fabric. If your clips keep slipping on jeans or work pants, pin clips are the upgrade to make.
Who pin clips are made for
Construction and Trades
Carpenters, electricians, and plumbers who need suspenders that stay put while they kneel, reach, and climb. See our Tradesman Suspenders for heavy duty builds.
Farm and Ranch
Long days of lifting and bending in denim or canvas. Pair pin clips with an X-back for the most secure fit.
Everyday Jeans
If you wear suspenders with jeans every day and you're tired of clips letting go, pin clips give you a firmer hold without sewing on buttons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are pin clip suspenders?
Pin clip suspenders use metal clips with small pins inside the jaw. When the clip closes, the pins grip the fabric, giving a much stronger hold than a standard clip.
Do pin clips damage pants?
The pins can leave tiny marks, which aren't noticeable on jeans, canvas, or work pants. For dress pants and fine fabrics, regular clips or button-on suspenders are the better choice.
Are pin clips stronger than regular clips?
Yes. Regular clips grip the surface of the fabric, while pin clips catch the fabric with pins, so they hold much better on heavy pants and during physical work.
Can I replace just one broken pin clip?
Yes. Our replacement 2 Pin Clip lets you swap out a single broken clip without buying a whole new pair.
Are your pin clip suspenders made in the USA?
Yes. Every pair is handcrafted in the USA and ships from our shop in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
