How wide can the suspender strap be?

How do I attach the clips to the straps?
Typically, the fabric strap is folded over the clip's prong and secured with stitching. Some users may also use a strong fabric adhesive.
Are these clips suitable for heavy-duty use?

Troubleshooting
Clip not gripping fabric securely
Ensure the fabric strap is thick enough and folded appropriately. Re-stitch if necessary. Check if the clip prong is bent.
Bronze finish is tarnished
Gently polish with a soft cloth. For heavier tarnish, use a specialized metal polish suitable for brass or bronze, following product instructions carefully.
Clip is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions or bent parts. Apply a small amount of lubricant if needed, ensuring it doesn't stain the fabric.
