Abstract
This invention pertains to a suspender set intended to be worn with a belt and worn under a person's shirt where it can not be seen that the person is wearing suspenders. The suspender set is particularly useful for a uniformed officer who carries heavy equipment on a belt, but can not wear suspenders because of uniform requirements. The invention is also useful for people who would like to wear shirt and suspenders without the societal stigma associated with wearing both belt and suspenders.
