Frequently asked questions
How fast will my item ship? When can I expect it to be delivered?
It takes 1-2 business days to create your order (slightly longer if you place a very large order). Refer to the shipping section on each listing for transit times to your location and various shipping options. Standard 1st class international shipping outside of the US takes 2-4 weeks. If you're unsure if your item will arrive in time, please contact me BEFORE you place your order and I can help.
What size suspenders should I order?
The suspender size is based on shirt size. The exact measurement of ONE strap fully extended to it's maximum length is as follows:
NB-24m: 24” (61cm)
2T-4T: 26” (66cm)
5-8: 30” (76cm)
9-13: 36” (92cm)
men's S: 40” (102cm)
Men's M: 42” (107cm)
Men's L: 48” (122cm)
Men's XL: 54” (137cm)
Men's XXL: 60” (153cm)
To measure, begin at the belt line in front, off center. Measure up over one shoulder, cross in the back, ending at the belt line on the opposite side. If you find your measurement is very close to one of these above numbers, order one size up. You can include the exact measurement in the comments section of your order if you'd like.
What is better - neck strap or clip on?
It's just a matter of personal preference and shirt style. The clip on is ONLY available for kids. It clips to a dress shirt or polo shirt's collar points and can be put on and removed rather easily, which is ideal for wiggly toddlers. However, keep in mind they might be wise to how you put it on and yank it off!
The neck strap is adjustable up to 16" for kids and 20" for adults. I can make them longer by request at no charge. Please be aware the neck strap does pose a strangulation hazard so please supervise children while they are wearing them.
The colors don't match my wedding, can I return my items?
No. Dapper Gent will mail an unlimited number of swatches FOR FREE worldwide so you can make sure the color is right for you before you purchase. Every item is custom made to order so we do not accept returns for color matching issues. This is a firm policy and is stated on every listing.
Care instructions
All 100% cotton items can be ironed with steam on cotton setting to remove wrinkles. Do NOT use steam or high heat on items with metallic gold print! Lower your heat setting to about 75% and use a dry iron otherwise the fabric will pucker. Spot clean with cold water only. Some customers have told me they have machine washed my items but please do so at your own risk. The hardware may be damaged by the tumbling in the washer or dryer. The diaper covers ARE machine washable but please wash on cold only and dry on low heat or allow to air dry to avoid shrinkage.
I live in the UK, can you pay my VAT fees?
No. VAT and custom taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. These are not fees I can charge on my end, nor can I pay them for the buyer. Please contact your local country's government website for full details on how the VAT tax and customs fees are calculated and where to pay them.
Can I mix and match fabrics?
Yes! Just because the listing shows a blue bow tie and blue suspenders doesn't mean that's the only option! Look through my shop (there's a search bar at the top right) and let me know what combinations you want to create. The sky's the limit!
Do you have gold or bronze suspender clips or adjusters?
No sorry the only suspender hardware and belt hardware I carry is silver.
Do you offer the button on style suspenders?
No sorry at this time I only offer the metal clips.
