I can't help thinking how much the pleats in indy's shirt remind me of suspenders. Maybe an early incarnation of the outfit had him wearing suspenders, but as everyone knows: you don't wear a belt with suspenders, even if it's holding up your gun and not your pants.

To be honest, I just think they're pleats in the shirt; not a nod to past costume designs
But don't rule out the old belt & suspenders trick. Many military uniforms, even today, employ a system whereby suspenders are attached to a belt. So it
is conceivable, although not in mainstream fashion.

And since Indy wears two belts, he could feasibly wear two pairs of suspenders.

Indy did wear suspenders, just not with the adventure gear.

Jones wears suspenders in all three movies but never with his gear:

I came to this thread with high expectations hoping for a good time, but now I want my money back!

Oh all right, it's "braces" to you British...
Wonder if this obligates to any pint purchases from your side? I bet it does.
