The Men’s braces under your shirt are available in two different models. The Hikers and Upfitters.
With only two attachment points, one above your fly and the other on your back belt loop, Hikers keep your pants in place. The Hikers model is equipped with two straps and is therefore easy to put on and take off. It is also possible to wear the Hikers over your undershirt.
The size: Hikers are adjustable in size and can be adjusted like a belt by adjusting the hook on the back strap. Each pair of Hikers has three sizes. For example, if you order a Large, it can also be tightened for Medium or Small. Hikers cannot be adjusted to fit larger, so if you are between sizes, order the larger of the two. To determine your Hikers size, measure from the center belt loop on the back of your pants over your shoulder to your front button. See our detailed instructions on how to measure yourself for the perfect fit.
Please note: Hikers require a front button placket and a back belt loop. Snaps or slide closures will not work with the buttonhole band.
Upfitters are comfortable enough to wear under your clothes, but are also suitable to wear over your clothes like traditional Men’s braces. The Men’s braces are ultra-thin and adjustable in 3 sizes. Upfitter offers a three-point attachment option with interchangeable hooks for the belt loops that won’t come loose. Upfitters stay in place under your shirt, so you don’t have to undress when you go to the bathroom, for example. They attach to your belt loops with Hikers patented hooks on the back, so you know they won’t come undone.
Sizing: Upfitters are adjustable in size and can be adjusted like a belt by adjusting the hook on the back strap. Each pair of Upfitters comes in three sizes. For example, if you order a Large, it can also be adjusted to fit Medium or Small. Upfitters cannot be adjusted to fit larger, so if you’re between sizes, order the larger of the two. To determine your Upfitters size, measure from the center belt loop on the back of your pants over your shoulder to your front button. Check out our full instructions on how to measure yourself for the perfect fit.
Washing instructions: Both the Hikers and Upfitters can be washed in the washing machine, but we do recommend removing the hook on the back before washing. The Hikers brand Men’s braces cannot be tumble dried.
