Our Review

All of the suspender bests we have seen have bee of good quality, which is not a great surprise seeing as we insist on proper metal clasps, but this one has a certain something extra. What that certain something is we can’t really put our finger on, but “one instinctively knows when something is right”.

Aside from the small bow on the waistband at the front and a hem of lace this is an entirely plain belt.  Made of stretch fabric and with three positions on the triple hook and eye fastening there is plenty of scope for adjustment, as there is on the six suspenders straps with their obligatory metal clasps.

Sizing according to the Kiss Me Deadly web site is as follows:

Waist Hips UK Size Small 24-26 34-36 8-10 Medium 27-29 37-39 12-14 Large 30-32 40-42 14-16 Extra Large 33-35 43-45 18-20

Note that the waist sizes are quite small, and our sample was labelled “extra large, waist 31/32”. Which seems smaller still.

If you use the last of the three rows of hooks and eyes on the fastening, and don’t mind the waistband being a little tight then the extra large would fit up to a 38” waist.  We suggest you follow the web site sizing and don’t panic when your belt arrives labelled much smaller.
