Alright my friends, I'm humbly asking for your help. And since you guys are the smartest bunch I know, I'm confident the solution to my dilemma is close at hand.
My new job comes with a lot of baggage...as in physical, tangible stuff I need to carry around everyday. I wear company provided shirts, nice ones even, and BDU pants. My problem is my waist, and all the paraphernalia that surrounds it. I carry a two way radio, cellphone holster, flashlight, an ungodly large key ring with an expanding key count, and an elevator drop key, all hooked to my belt. And this stuff is heavy. And my lack of any discernible butt isn't helping. Appearance is important, and I'm getting tired of struggling to keep my shirttail tucked in, and my pants up. I already have my belt cinched up to the point of intestinal distress, but keep hitching my britches.
I'm considering suspenders, but need a belt to carry my gear. And besides, I was taught that wearing a belt AND suspenders together was a fashion no-no. Still true?? I'm currently looking at military, tactical, police and firefighter gear, hoping to stumble across something or some system that will look good, and work even better.
Anyone have any ideas?
