nice writeup and pics, eagle. i get the same complaints from my wife when i ask her to snap pics for me.
on the HSGI suspenders, i don't have square shoulders, so i used to have the same issue. the triangle separator at the back is there because gene can't sew a fixed 'X' as everyone has different needs, but when you figure out where the best place for the 'X' is in the back (the highest you can slide the plastic triangle so that they don't slip off the shoulders), mark the place and angle that the straps cross, take off the plastic triangle, and sew the 'X' permanantly.
something else that will help is to put a few flat squiggles of shoe goo, silicone cement, etc under the straps where they go over your shoulders. i just put some wavy lines of hot glue, and they really make a difference in keeping them from slipping off.
cheers,
MM
