"Fitted" Suspenders
If you are like many seasoned firefighters and dislike buckles on your suspenders we offer our “Fitted Suspenders”. Our Fitted suspenders are made to your exact length and specifications to avoid the bulkiness of the buckles and the nuisance of the flapping tongues. Black Smoke Leather “Fitted” Suspenders are made with strong yet supple leather that is stitched for strength that will accompany you through many years if not your entire firefighter career. All of our suspenders are made from high tensile strength 10/12 oz thick saddle grade leather, well above industry standard, and our quality metal hardware will meet and rival any hardware that is currently used through out the industry. As our way of saying THANK YOU, personalize your suspenders with names, initials or numbers and 1 color paint completely FREE of charge.
To properly size your Fitted Suspenders please follow the sizing instructions.

Black Smoke Tested
When most Firefighters purchase Suspenders they adjust them to where they like to wear them at and never adjust them again. We have seen our guys use Duct Tape, Zip Ties and many other creative things to keep the buckles from coming apart. So the Black Smoke Crew got rid of buckles all together. The Black Smoke Crew was also tired of having to find creative ways to secure our radio straps when just wearing our drops. Every time we would bend over our radio strap would fling forward, so the Black Smoke Crew came up with a built in Anti-sway mount for the Firefighters who use a radio strap on calls. We recommend following the sizing directions and get rid of Suspender Buckles!
