Pattinson wears a pair of suspenders (or braces) but not actually wears it. It's tricky. Poster copyrights belong to its rightful owners. Image from imdb.com for illustration purpose only.
The latest cinematic suspenders wearing chum who does a good job wearing them is Denis Meochet whose character, Perrier LaPadite, in the opening scene of The Inglourious Basterds (2009) seems just right at home holding up his pants using them while smoking pipe and chopping firewood. Not a big role but sort of begins the movie with the right tone, sadly the movie goes downhill after that.
Pattinson can be seen in the poster wearing, very likely, a vintage looking Levi's with suspender buttons. A similar if not exact product is currently available for mass consumption, the Levi's 201 selvedge rigid jeans, part of Levi's workwear collection. The thing with this model is kind of troublesome. It 's supposed to be somewhat loose fitting and yet I read people whinge about how big it is. I can't imagine wearing it tight and then "holding it up" with suspenders. For me that would be ridiculous. Or even worse, putting on a belt and a set of suspenders--believe it or not, I actually saw on YouTube a woman--a self proclaimed beauty and style expert, telling people how to wear a belt and suspenders, the clip-on type no less, what horror, together (I cringe watching it again, and she says boob loop, and look at the rainbow color plastic clothes hangers in the back. Good entertainment). I mean suit yourself. Life is too short to care what others think. Anyway, with the suspender buttons on the outside of the waistband, three sets and six of them, I don't think it's such a good idea or all that comfortable, running a belt through the belt loops and on top of those not-so-small suspender buttons. The back pockets has rivets, the type that actually has the the little nipple thingy out instead of the flat one. The hard nipple thingy can and will damage your saddle if you're horse back riding or your creamy leather seat in your Land Rover. I think Levi's got rid of them, or modified it so the head is flat nipple-less or just hide it on the bar of the back pocket, for a very good reason. The cinch back buckle is there and thankfully the double-pronged bar is beneath the cinch fabric so it won't scratch anything.
The 201 looks good but kind of hard to wear it well because it just looks a wee bit weird wearing a pair of suspenders with a pair of jeans nowadays. Even(or unless) you are that good looking like Mr. Pattinson.
