SIZING INFORMATION
The foundation of my success so far has been adapting the philosophy that every single piece deserves to FIT the way the wearer wants it to fit. I will not grow my business to the point where it becomes a "one-size-fits-all" production line to be able to compete with the big name companies. Every firefighter deserves perfect fitting suspenders.
HERE'S HOW TO MEASURE FOR YOUR SUSPENDERS (for 8 button bunker pants):
- Step into your bunker pants and adjust your suspenders up like you would if you were making a run.
- Have a friend measure from one of the front buttons on either side to one of the rear buttons on THE SAME SIDE (very important)
- If you have no friends, or just choose to work alone, use a cord or rope to do the same thing while wearing your bunker pants. Mark the measurement on the cord and lay it out flat to measure.
- record that number so it's available when you're ready to order
The same process applies for the new style bunker pants with the horizontal mounting straps instead of buttons except you measure from strap to strap (same side) instead of butttons.
MEASURING FOR YOUR RADIO SLING:
- Most people wear their sling so the top of the radio rides a little lower than their belt so it's still accessible under the bunker coat when they're wearing an air pack. It'll feel weird at first being low down if you've never worn one but it's easy to get used to.
- If you have a friend's radio sling to try on, use it. Adjust it so it fits just right. Remove the case from the strap, lay it out flat and measure from end to end including the hardware. Record that measurement.
- If you don't have one around, use a cord or rope to go over your shoulder and touch the ends together at the bottom of the belt line on one side. Lay that out and measure. Record that measurement.
