I am 5"11 210lbs and the longs are to long for me to wear with period correct pants. the sizing note were not helpful for period fitting pants,
"They are made to fit men taller than 5'9", with typical to large builds. If you are shorter than 5'10 with a slim build, you might prefer the fit of our short suspenders, which are 4" shorter."
They have lots of adjustment, but the elastic give to much to make up for the higher waist line. Another then that they seem very well made.

These were exactly what I hoped for
I like to CosPlay a number of Steam Punk characters and needed appropriate, durable ''bracers'' for some working man roles. These look really good with a nice natural off-white color. The straps to attach them to the pant's buttons are a nice heavier weight and add to the look i wanted. They are comfortable and fit my rotund 6 foot body with adjustment to spare. If you are looking for the right suspenders for a 49er miner, Victorian working person or other not-so-dressy suspender these look great.

These suspenders are of excellent quality and fit perfectly. I was concerned about the fit as your description said they were 48" and would fit people 5' 9" and taller and I am 5' 5" tall. The "Y" in the back fits right between my shoulder blades and there is plenty of adjustment up and down. Great suspenders, I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you!

I ordered these with a pair of trousers. It's not rocket science to figure out how to use suspenders. They're made of fine quality but the only issue I have is the adjusters don't hold very tightly. They're awfully loose. Still these are pretty good for the price and quality.

I have several different pairs of suspenders from Historical Emporium and like them, but since these have arrived I've had them on everyday. I like the rugged thick leather connectors and the comfortable natural colored canvas straps. They're my go-to suspenders any time the look need not be dressy.

Excellent product, sturdy construction.
Well made, strong and stylish, the only problem I had was with the size, I have a relatively slight frame and found the elasticated back far too long. My wife has made an adjustment to this and all is well. Mark Green.

Nice looking suspenders but I have to side with "variable". The elastic back strap is very long and I, being of average size, have the Y up on my neck when wearing them with high waisted trousers. Need to shorten the back by sewing it in folds. Hope that works and makes them wearable. Otherwise they look and feel sturdy and of good quality.

Medium quality, fitting issues
Though these suspenders are nice to look at they are very long in the back and if worn with period pants the 'Y' will ride up at your neck very quickly if you are anything larger than medium build. The front button loops are pretty, but the leather is weak and they are the exact same length, which causes the inside loop to take all the strain and the outside loop to blouse, often coming undone. Good enough for a costume showpiece, but not for real daily wear.
