A quality upgrade from the normally seen "Police Braces" which reenacters have been using for the past 60 years. These kind of suspenders can be used for any occasion.

Even though people shouldn't see the suspenders of a proper gentleman, you'll know how dapper you are when you wear these with fancy pants and a tie. Works well for an Earp or Holiday kit, or if you just want to play a railroad tycoon. I matched mine up with tuxedo pants to portray an Englishman or a butler.

I haven't worn suspenders before. These were easy to put on my pants and to adjust the fit.

First pair of suspenders for me in decades. Perfect fit and necessary for the high waist pants. Functional and yet dressy enough for the 1890's mortician.

Our church is having a black tie affair and I had a suit custom made over 30 years ago styled on this line and I thought it time again.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Gerry nice looking

nice accessory

The suspenders were as advertised, of good quality and of good price.

These suspenders are fantastic! They fit my 5 foot 9 inch frame perfectly and the elastic has just enough give to be very comfortable for all day wear while still keeping my trousers securely in place. The satin material is shiny and smooth, giving a sleek, upper-class look that is a finishing touch on a Black Tie affair or just a casual Victorian Stroll in Saratoga Springs. I love these braces.

At the ripe young age of 42, this is honestly my first serious pair of suspenders (that weren't clip-on and mock-ups of the ones Robin Williams wore on Mork & Mindy). Combined with a proper set of trousers, I felt way too comfortable. I need more of these in my life. These are worn underneath of the waistcoat so nobody really gets to see them... except my wife as I'm taking all of the layers off. And she seems to think they look really fine on me. As far as I'm concerned, that's the final word.

Love them, fit great, look great.

They look well made, and cost much less then in department stores. I having tried them on yet.

great place to buy from allclothes i buy here also fit great

Looking forward to wearing them in my golf Tournament

I needed something warm to bike to banks and other businesses. Biking out fits don't cut it. Paired with over the knee wool socks and a nice vest and overcoat, these knickers fit the bill. The wool content isn't as great as I'd hoped for, but the synthetic lining makes peddling comfortable.

The quality, style, fit are all spot on perfect

This was a perfect addition to my new Victorian Santa suit. My niece (costume designer for a big Vegas show) made me a new vest and coat - but we needed the perfect late 19th century pants. The Gray Herringbone Tweed knickers are a perfect "second suit" along with the Olive Herringbone Tweed trousers I also purchased from the Emporium. Santa will get lots of "looks" this season!

Fishing in AK! Love them!

I have several Norfolk jackets in pure wool (some bespoke and some off the peg). I have always wanted a Norfolk suit but they're pretty uncommon now except if you go the bespoke route. When I saw Historical Emporium's offering I snapped it up in my size hoping that the 38 waist trousers would be right and it was just about perfect. I'd like a lightly higher rise but that's all personal preference and the pleats probably push us into 1920s or 1930s territory but I love pleats and am glad to have them even if they're not part of the Edwardian aesthetic the Norfolk suit is part of. As part of my Norfolk suit this will join my other Nofolks quite proudly. The button fly, as clearly described in the listing, is a great touch (though it can be finicky, and this is from someone who has a number of corduroys and smart trousers with button flies, but not so finicky that they're a drawback).

The wool knickers are super comfortable for hiking in the White Mountains, thin enough not to overheat you but the wool keeps warm if the weather turns foul (which it inevitably does). Having your lower legs free gives you additional mobility and ease of stride while keeping your knees covered for scrambling up and over rocky spots.

As usual, historical Emporium sells high quality clothing. The trousers are great, and are made with quality fabric. I highly recommend them

Wonderful material, great fit....

Great knickers, but i thought they had a zipper fly because the description wasn't real clear. Button fly is ok but challenging to do up at times.

Excellent quality. Very good fit.

the lining on the inside make it good if you are wool sensitive

Suffering from the old man sickness known in vernacular circles as "noassatall", combined with stooping and bending resulting in the "Plumber's Butt Syndrome" speaks for itself. In this review, no further words are necessary other than complementary adjectives for authenticity...

Excellent

I bought these suspenders to add to the ones I already had. These were just as good, holding everything up comfortably and fitting well, binding on the shoulders and back. Will buy again if the need calls for it!

Got these for daily wear. They work great!

Good fit.

Exactly what the description stated.

I bought these as part of an 1880's outfit for my costuming hobby. They look and feel great and perform flawlessly.

Suspenders are perfect they fit as described.

Needed new pair of suspenders for heavy wool pants....these are absolutely perfect.

Perfect

I had several colors of suspenders but needed a pair of neutral and tan or brown suspenders. I have been waiting a long time for your stock to resupply and was very happy to see the colors I wanted to show up recently.

These are built well and have a lot of adjustability!

Wore them to the Dickens Fair 2023

My husband uses that type of suspenders most of the time.

The sizing chart was has extremely helpful. The fit fine.

Found the style this man was looking for. Fortunately the description included the advice what style to get for the obese man. At least he is pleased with this purchase.

They look great. Haven't had the opportunity to try them yet.

Fit and look perfect for my outfit. Just wish they came in other colors besides black.

Love them! Do their job amd I hardly notice they're there!

Not a lot to be said about suspenders, other than they look good and keep your pants up. Great product.

Great item. Reasonable price. Thanks! Will buy another set soon...

Fit great, great design, very well made! Definitely recommend!

High quality braces. I ordered the shorter ones which work better (though not perfectly) with high-waisted trousers. it would be ideal if the Emporium carried braces/suspenders specifically designed for high-waisted trousers (e.g. with shorter runner ends etc.)

Love the colour they feel great and are very comfortable to wear would highly recommend these to wear

Nicely stretchy, attractive slightly shiny gray. Length is good for me (I'm 6 feet even).They look nice enough to wear without a vest.

These are the standard others need to meet. The shorter size is important when wearing high waisted britches. These are the best quality I've seen except for the high dollar formal type. Perfect for Cowboy action!

These are a really great pair of suspenders. They add the last little touch to the impression that you're trying to pull off.

More trousers made from if would be great.

Love the fabric, the cut and style but these run a bit small compared to another brand I purchased from you. They still look great

Picked these up for outdoor yard work, very well made and fit and look good. Would recommend these to anyone.

Fit and finish are excellent. Will buy again.

These are really good canvas, and are my second pair. The first were size 32 in another color. One thing to know is this color runs small. The 32” brown were like man leggings that don’t bend. I’m not overweight and I was muffining out the top. So sold that pair to a friend who is made of popsicle sticks and got myself 34”. Those are perfect!! So order a size up if you eat food.

The quality of these trousers is unquestionable.

Very well made trousers. Unfortunately, I was trying to integrate them into my wardrobe and, due to the inseam and my wearing the new slimmer profile styles, I couldn't abide the mass of material at the crotch level. I understand that the cut of these is authentic. Wish there were someone making a slimmer version with a more tapered leg.

Great service, great clothes! Period authentic! Fit the part! Super durable, not just looks but wear this gear while working the property as well! Highly recommend.

I ordered these for work pants (farm, woodworking, blacksmithing). They are very comfortable. The height of the waist is not a traditional high waist, but is a really good medium-height for me. The fabric is a nice brushed hard-wearing twill, but is definitely even lighter weight than I was expecting. That's okay, they'll be good summer pants, but it was a surprise.

Good work pants

The Trousers didn't fit, when ordering I didn't realize the cut of the Trouser was to be worn high. I have a 42 waist at my belly button, but order a 38 waist because I wear my jeans at my hips. This was my mistake and not the Historical Emporium's. When ordering measure your belly button waist not your hips.

I received my order within a week and the pants were exactly as described. They are made of heavy fabric and are quality throughout. Sizing was spot on. I bought them for Cowboy Action Shooting and a period correct for 1880-1890 dress. A durable, well fitting addition to my cowboy outfit.

Great product well made. Like the fit.

Bought to go with a pair of black canvas trousers. Very nice quality and look.

Of course I need these for the pants, so I treat them as one.

I purchased these suspenders to go with a trouser order also from the ‘Emporium’. Nice pattern/design and easy to adjust to the right length.I’m approximately 5ft 8ins in height so the short version was ‘spot on’ for me. Always enjoy a shop at Historical Emporium, Hope to be back purchasing again soon. Thank you.

These have a robust elastic. The hardware is sound. The tabs could be thicker but are easily repaired if they end up giving out.

Even nicer than the photos!

Even nicer than the photos!

These are well done and very classy. Would purchase again

look very nice and are a perfect compliment to the Baxter gray dress trousers

Look great and fit perfectly.

more comfortable material. Would buy again. Bought for working at 1880 Town

great fit

I bought this to wear in warmer weather. The fabric is thinner, but still rugged. I shortened the legs and had my tailor use the material to make a pocket on the left hip cheek to match the patch pocket on the right cheek. I've learned the value of having more pockets, and since I wear a long rifle coat with these pants, it doesn't matter if historically accurate or not; it just makes sense to have 4 pockets. The pants fit well and look good; not overly baggy but not rock-n-roll tight either. The fabric feels like its treated for repellency; they look good with the tuxedo shirt and vest. If you're going for the "Tombstone Marshall" look, these will work well.

I like the way these pant fit, but I ordered them in size 40 waist think that they would be loose fitting like my Wranglers... I think I may have to send them back to trade for a 42" waist size...

Had to go up a couple of sizes. Very nice pants. Liked them so much I ordered a second pair.
