SIZE: Your strap length is the distance from a button or front dart location to the center of the back at the waistband passing diagonally across the shoulder (see last photo).
Handcrafted from artisanally tanned leather, resulting in slight variations in appearance, "Les Bretelles de Gaston" are unique and authentic pieces.
My ecological contribution: It is making products with real ecological added value, that is to say a very long lifespan and the ability to be repaired, transformed, recycled. The manufacturing energy costs are zero (a little elbow grease!) and the packaging is biodegradable. I favor leathers tanned in France for their qualities and to reduce the impact on our environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing details
Working to measure, please specify the size of the straps by positioning your pants as desired, then measure either with a seamstress tape or with a string transferred on a ruler the distance from your hip to the middle of your back through the shoulder (see last photo of the presentation).
If you cannot make this measurement (in the event of a gift to be given) please tell me the size (height) of the recipient. With this information I will be able to fulfill your order and have it leave on time.
Care instructions
The leathers used are washable with lukewarm water and soap. You can also wax them with a colorless wax or coat them with ox's foot oil used in saddlery.
If you notice a disgorgement (due to heat, sweating):
Soak the suspenders in a sink or basin filled with cold water, one cup of white alcoholic vinegar and one cup of coarse salt.
Leave to drain for one or two hours.
Rinse off with cold water.
Return to soak, but this time only in water, nothing.
If you are doing a fat stain.
Apply Sommières earth to the stain. It is a natural and very absorbent clay.
- Rub gently with a soft cloth or with your finger at the level of the stain, leaving earth on it.
- Leave on for a few hours (overnight for example).
- Rub or brush gently to remove soil.
