I buy well-made leather belts made by YourTack in nearby LaGrange, Indiana. I was used to washing my jeans after every wearing. It took me a long time to buy into this idea. (I did learn several years ago, that I was washing my jeans way too often that as long as they aren’t dirty or smelly, jeans can be worn for weeks at a time between washes. At my age, I have no interest in redesigning the clothing wheel.
Again, I buy what I know, what has fit me in the past. I buy two brands: Skechers and New Balance. When it comes to shoes, I buy them either through Amazon or its affiliate Zappos. When I find something that “fits,” I tend to stick with that brand. When it comes to jeans, I typically buy Levi 550s or 560s. I am not a big fan of Amazon, but their selection of big and tall clothing is second to none. I buy most of my clothing and shoes on Amazon. It’s never happened to me, but I have caught them well on their way to embarrassing me. Nothing like fame for having your pants drop down to your knees in the middle of the store. Since wearing Perry Suspenders, I no longer fear being the subject of a YouTube video shot by a local resident at Meijer. You can buy a pair of Perry Suspenders for $13-18 on Amazon.
Perry Suspenders, which come in 2 widths and 2 lengths, hook on your belt, providing a second layer of butt exposure security. Over time, these snaps get weak, tend to come unsnapped, and smack the wearer in the face. Most suspenders have a clasp that is snapped on the pants. Perry SuspendersĪ few years back, I found the perfect suspenders for a guy like me. When I feel my pants following the path of least resistance, I pull them up Grandpa-style and put my hands in my pockets to keep them from sliding back down. If you are a local reader and have seen me at Meijer with my hands in my pockets, it’s not because my hands are cold. I put two new holes in my belt so I can cinch it up tighter, but even then, my pants tend to work their way down. Wearing only a belt is an invitation for embarrassment, especially now that I have lost weight. Since I don’t want to make the local news, Atheist Moons Shoppers at Meijer, I not only wear a belt but I also wear suspenders. Most people have hips and a butt they can hang their pants on. Bruce and Polly Gerencser 2018Įven when I get shirts that fit, I still have a problem keeping my pants up. These shirts have longer tails, but I’ve found that I have to order one size larger than I normally do. Those shirts ALWAYS needed to be starched and ironed - another of the many reasons my wife is a saint. Polly wishes I had “discovered” these shirts back in the day when I was wearing white pinpoint cotton oxford shirts. Nice shirts that never need to be ironed provided they are removed from the dryer on time. Last year, my oldest son introduced me to Van Heusen no-iron Traveller (Flex) shirts. This pocket works well when I need someplace to put my lens cap or cellphone. ( Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve) The t-shirts are well made, don’t feel cheap, and have a pocket on the front. Made by Key Industries, I can buy them for less than $14 on Amazon. I finally found a t-shirt that fits me well. The shirts are long enough, but often they are way too big in the chest. Buying XXXL shirts is a challenge because clothing makers assume that every XXXL man has a big gut. I have spent much of my life tucking in shirts that are not long enough. No woman has ever complimented me for having a nice ass, mainly because my shirt is usually hanging out the back. Most men my height have a 32-35-inch inseam. Come Thanksgiving, it will be impossible for me to go in public without multiple people calling attention to Santa-like looks. I have ruddy complexion and beard color to play Santa, so in recent years I have finally embraced my inner Claus. I do have some belly fat, but I am pretty much a cylindrical mass of human flesh. Instead, from my size 8 head to my size 10 feet, I am shaped like a fire hydrant. Unlike most men my size, I don’t have what is commonly called a beer gut. I have an odd body shape for a man my size, and unfortunately, weight loss or gain goes unnoticed. No one who knows me has asked if I’ve lost weight. Thanks to my recurrent battle with only Loki knows what, I have lost 25 pounds since last September. I thought the following post would more than answer Ed’s belt and suspenders question. Some things are far more relevant to our daily life than institutionalized fantasies. Ed asked:Īs a person of similar age and girth as Bruce Almighty…… belt AND suspenders or suspenders/belt alone?
