Was wondering if anyone that wears suspenders, as I do, wear a separate belt NOT laced through the pants loops, but rather just a free belt and holster
Oh, been there. Heading there again....I wear suspenders that hook to my belt.

If I ever get a waistline again, I'll stop wearing suspenders.
I got a pair of those. They work great! ...and mine are black!Oh, been there. Heading there again....
I believe that the old man crowd's use of suspenders didn't really originate because of atrophied butt muscles, but rather because of the extremely "healthy" belly "muscle", which grew way past ANYTHING below it which may have supported the belt. I've proved this theory by going "back and forth" several times... It's true!....Suspenders are (or were) popular amongst the old man crowd. They were they guys whose butt muscles had atrophied so much that pants were not wearable without suspenders. I'm getting there.
Anymore, the only belts I wear are thick enough/reinforced in order to carry a OTW holster w/ gun.
TO ANSWER FM's question: IT DEPENDS.... sometimes I wore a belt and sometimes I didn't....... I never wore/wear a holster.I wear suspenders because I have hips like a snake; non existent. But that doesn't answer my question. It is if you do wear suspenders do wear a belt threaded through the loops or a free belt and holster.
I always thought the phrase denoted those of us who are OCD...and ANAL.... and maybe absent minded to boot.I wear both a belt and suspenders whenever I carry.
As early as 50 years ago, I recall that "Belt and suspenders" was a phrase used to describe a situation requiring a need for extreme caution - "Take a belt-and-suspenders approach. Be doubly cautious."
I believe your definition is accurate, too. At least in my opinion.I always thought the phrase denoted those of us who are OCD...and ANAL.... and maybe absent minded to boot.

Haven't worn those pants in 20 years.
