Nocona Men's Shot Shell Leather Suspender, tan, Medium

Q: what are the metal clips made out of? I'm just looking for a way to to change that brass color to a silver tone.

I have this style and like it very much, but I also have the Nocona Belt Co. Men's Basic Basket Leather Suspender, Brown, X-Large and it has silver clips.

Q: If they keep wanting to slide off shoulders, would glueing something like felt on them under the shoulder straps prevent the sliding?

That might work, but more than likely they just need to be adjusted for a tighter fit. I have to adjust mine from time to time when I am working outside in the summer heat. If they get wet from perspiration the leather will stretch some. When they dry out, the leather draws up and need to be loosened up a bit.

Q: Can i wear a large if i'm 5'8?

I believe so,their adjustable. I'm 5'5" and adjusted them to the smallest size and standing was ok, but sitting they kept falling off my shoulders. They have nother pair that comes in medium but they don't have the shotgun buttons.

Q: I am considering these suspenders. Do I need to buy a suspender loop attachment set to attach the suspenders to my belt instead of my belt loops ?

I don't know if they would fit the harness snaps on the suspenders. Possibly a set of custom leather loops that would go on your belt just wide enough for the harness snaps.
