Very useful, I like it. My father wears suspenders as he has a very retro style, but they are also preferred by many men who carry more weight around the waist. With a bigger belly a belt has a tendency to slip down to the hips which is not a good look for high-waisted suit pants. Suspenders are a lot more comfortable and more flattering for that body shape.

I’ve been adding bracer buttons to my husband’s trousers for 20+ years. In the front put one button at the top of the pleat to support it. If you put the bracer buttons on either side of the pleat it will gape. Bracer buttons are sold on a card of six buttons, but be sure you harvest the bracer buttons for reuse when disposing of the trousers. If you are sewing in bracer buttons for a man with sloping shoulders they may need to be a bit closer to the center front then this placement method shows.

This is so interesting, thank you for this tutorial! I'm going to try this on a pair of jeans (I hate belts). By the way, I have some old vintage buttons made like this - now I know what they are for!

Batchelor buttons (riveted metal button studs) that sit on the exterior waistband would be more traditional for jeans than this style of bracer buttons.

You didn't secure the waistband at the front so what will stop it from flipping up in the same way as the back before you secured it...?

Do ppl add French flies to trousers? I ask because there's a few pants I have that have a bit too much tension on the single button closure, or if you have any other solutions? Just to clarify it's not to the point of needing to be let out. Just the fabric choice doesn't have much structure.
