The first pair I bought had an issue, but Historical Emporium took care of the issue post haste. Thanks, HE!

The quality of these is fantastic. Durable material, heavy duty construction, and clean work make these braces incredibly handsome. It's almost a shame to hide them behind a waistcoat.

Nice quality braces. Exactly what was needed for Livingston canvas trousers.

Fits my husband perfectly. Arrived fast. Great quality. Love it.

Perfect. Exactly what I needed.

The suspenders were much too long. My friend adjusted them and sewed them for me. After that they are good.

Nice even fit!

My husband has always worn Y-back braces. He has not had ones made out of canvas and he loves them. Historical Emporium has a nice selection of suspenders. We received them fairly fast, too.

The back strap of the braces are too long. When worn with period trousers which have high waists, the "V" in the back is too high and causes the straps to bend out of shape or buckle, causing the straps to not rest on the shoulders evenly. I am 5'11" so the length of the strap should not have been a problem. The back strap of the braces also pulled away from the leather tab at the end. I shortened the back strap and resewed the strap into the tab and have not had any further problems.

Clean, light, and no stretch. Braces have no stretch and don't continually pull up. These look good and stay adjusted.

Take a bit more work than modern suspenders, but these look a whole lot better. They appear to be made pretty well so I should be able to enjoy for a long time.

Love'em

The Y-back braces are of fine quality. They are long so with pants with a high waistband, the braces do not fit smoothly on the back. I might cut and sew the back of the braces for a smoother fit.
