I like them!

First time ever wearing proper braces and a positive experience! Keep pants in place and quite comfortable.

I have worn similar ones before, these appear to be well made however, the pants that came with the tuxedo with tails ordered on this site came with belt loops, an unexpected and pleasant surprise. I used a belt instead.....

This is a little unusual than regular suspenders with the y back. But actually is pretty comfortable.

Nice product. Unfortunately I should order a short instead of regular as suggested. Will be returned.

I've never owned a pair of suspenders before. Frankly, I don't know how I went so long without them. I have a bit of a belly, so belts are uncomfortable and only for special occasions. I bought them to hold up my Reilly Plaid Trousers. They are a comfortable alternative to a belt. They have a wide range of adjustability, and I don't feel like I'm getting squeezed. They fit perfectly on the buttons sewed in to the trousers. The clasps are tight, so I don't have to worry about them migrating throughout the evening.

All the attention to detail, the arm bands, the hat, the tie, and the suspenders, created a perfect historical outfit.

They are great and the delivery was fast and efficient.

Comfortable and plenty of adjustment for even big and tall.

I bought these awhile ago b/c I was looking for black suspenders to go with outfit. They look nice but I found after doing quite a bit of walking my tucked in shirt keeps untucked. To get to the point the elastic y braces where pulling out my shirt and pushing down my drawers. I could be a bit bouncier than most while walking but that's my review on the particular braces. If maybe there was just elastic on back not front they would work better.

They are perfect. Very high quality

Good quality, however only came in a "tall size" which was way to big for my husband.

I am a little reserved with these braces: the fasteners are fragile (I was forced to reinforce one of them with leather because it had torn at first use) and the adjusting flows have to be placed really very high on the torso, almost at the edge of the clavicles.

the brace was of excellent quality. Although, make sure you have pants with the required buttons to hold your braces. but the elastic.

Went perfectly with the Frock coat, pants, shirt and vest ordered from you!

Exactly what I needed and arrived quickly....THANKS

exactly as pictured, very light cream, basically white, but very sturdy and work comfortably on my pants i love em

Timely service good product

Perfect for my old west costume, very comfortable.

Simple and functional! These braces are great! As a circuit rider, I was looking for braces with great quality, but also fairly plain and understated. These are perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!! The leather straps are fantastic and the stitching is top notch! Very comfortable...No issues or complaints whatsoever!

These were just what I needed for my Fifth Doctor costume. Thanks for the great product and the fast service.

Good quality and fit. Followed the ordering directions and had no problem.

No worry about falling britches with these on

Should try to offer these in WHITE other than that they are perfect for what I need.

They are the perfect complement to my trousers. Thanks

After adding suspender buttons to my trousers, and these suspenders, no more sagging pants, and no more suspender clips slipping off. Thank you!!!

These braces are just what I was looking for, they seem to be fitting the bill just fine.Can't wait for the re-enacting season to begin. Thanks Russ

Very pleased with my purchase of Y-back braces. Mailed in good time and I am pleased with the quality.

These Y-Back suspenders in the natural color (sort of tan) look great with an authentic pair of Edwardian wool fishback trousers.

There was nothing wrong with the quality but i felf they were to large although I am unsure if you can get smaller sizes . They do adjust but stiill to large I thought.

just what I wanted they will go good with about any thing

I love them! They fit so nicely and match most things I own! Thank you!

I have used them once to see if the custom worked and they were fine, the adjustable buckle adjusts very well. Will work fine,

These suspenders are strong yet - not too wide - the leather is supple yet strong. Generally speaking they're the quality one would have enjoyed 20 years ago so to find them is a treasure. Very satisfied.

Work great and comfortable

The color is very rich, compliments shirt and trousers well, more than I expected for the price.

Goes well with Sable Frock Coat and Trousers. Easy to adjust and good looking.

What can I say, these look good fit right, and at a great price.

Excellent and very comfortable suspenders. I have worn suspenders all my life, and about gave up on the elastic ones years ago, because they were poor quality and stretched out too quickly. Went to leather braces, but now that I am older, leather hurts my shoulders. But these excellent quality suspenders are the true meaning of "Braces", and I will be buying several different colors if you make them. Excellent braces!

Good quality, does what it is meant to do. This is for real life usage and I'd happily buy more from H.E.

These are well made. I've yet to have a problem with these and I've had them for months. They're durable and I prefer them over clip-on suspenders easily.

I tried them on and the Y Brace goes up to my neck. I tried adjusting multiple times and still didn't work. I will be returning these. won't recommend these unless your tall or a husky man.

These braces fit perfect with the trousers, and look great. Only issue is that the buckles are rather high on the chest, too close to the collarbone for my liking.

...but I do wish all (any?) manufacturer of braces provided either really sturdy leather button straps (since they can tear, especially on the steel buttons that H.E. trousers use) or an extra set of them, or a way to buy them. These braces are simple, functional and otherwise extremely well-made. I'd love to know how to get more of those darn straps, however...

Well pants have not fallen down as yet. Cheers Joseph

Excellent.

The suspenders are very nice and look great with the pants.

I'm 5' 11" and these are a great fit. Wear them every day and they look durable. Very happy!

I'm 5'-11" and this elastic fits perfectly. Quality product! Will return to the Historical Emporium for more items.

originally ordered the standard ( long ? ) y back suspenders. They would have worked but were a bit to long. Exchanged for the " short " version, way better fit. I am 5'10" and slim build. Exchange handled no problem.

Needed these to go with the period pants I ordered to play "Black Bart" hired gun in a local fund raiser melodrama. Great quality and the fit was exactly as advertised.

The short suspenders fit my 5'8" husband just right. He's a musician and needed elastic type for ease of movement and comfort. Thanks for offering these. Very Happy!

My husband is 5' 4" tall and these fit wonderfully.

These suspenders are great with the wool trousers I also bought from Historical Emporium. I like the victorian style clothing and am glad I came across this site.

I rarely wear suspenders so for the first time they took me a few minutes to put on the pants I purchased. Other than that they're easy to adjust. Forgot I was even wearing them as the night went on!

The suspenders were great and exactly what I was expecting.

I'm 5'6" and these are just right. Just the right amount of adjustment to accommodate high- or low-waisted pants. Well finished and high quality.

They’ll keep my trousers up! Excellent quality and are exactly as advertised.

Nice quality suspenders and solid leather button straps. Happy with my purchase!

Just the right length

Just like described. Look great!

Was as advertised

Holding up my Elk skin buckskinner pants for reenactments

These are the sturdiest suspenders ever! My husband loves them

Great product i highly recommend it i got them brown color.

Very pleased with the suspenders and the service from Historical Emporium. Awesome company!!

They look great and do the job with no embarrassing slips.

These are well made, period correct, appearance-wise. The back looks like canvas, buy is elastic. This eases movement greatly. Good, heavy weight material.

Very heavy-duty, high-quality. Can't speak to how they'll hold up over time (just got them a few weeks ago), but they look solid. Comfortable.

The thing that makes a costume into a true recreation piece is detail. These suspenders look like they came out of the Old West. They are a good color, well made, and sturdy. It made the outfit. I will order again.

There is a lot to like about these excellent braces; they are stoutly constructed, and wide enough to offer good support. I especially like the stout leather tabs, which mark these as practical working suspenders, rather than an item for fops, dandies, and fat-cat captains of industry; these are meant for holding up the trousers of people who do the grunt work of the agrarian and industrial modern era! My one gripe, and the only thing that kept me from awarding them a fifth star, is that there is rather too much elastic in the back brace for my comfort; especially with high-waisted olde-tymey britches, the yoke hits just below my collar, rather than between my shoulders, resulting in some discomfort, and an unsightly puckering of the shoulder braces near the yoke. This is, however, easily corrected by shortening the elastic section by about 1-1/2"-2", and will not keep me from buying more of this style. But a bit shorter length of elastic from the get-go might be nice. But those dang attachment tabs, though! They're CHONKY, and I like 'em. Major selling point of this style, as far as I'm concerned.

I really like these suspenders. They are more authentic than the full elastic type. The wide canvas straps are sturdy and the single piece of elastic in the back makes a nice visual contrast as well as authentically giving more comfort than non-elastic suspenders. Not fully on par with other reenactment grade items but great in a pinch and I will be likely using this at battlefield reenactments.

excellent quality suspenders

These are great period suspenders. Love the look

These are the finishing touch for my riding pants the tan and black Olsen Riding pants, which I bought for riding my motorcycle, this just adds that much needed touch of class. Thanks for this.

They are great. However, I just noticed that the photo shows a red elastic forming the "trunk" of the "Y" while the suspenders that I got have a white elastic in that place (the branches of the "Y" are red as in the photo).

perfect for re-enactment

Sturdy, great looking suspenders. Highly recommend!

fIT VERY GOOD NICE WORKMENSHIP

Gotta love that name. Really pleased with the 'spenders. Truly excited to attend Pioneer days dressed in the era. Tombstone, here I come.

all round perfect fit..

These were ordered with a pair of red suspenders. This particular pair didn't have the clips the red one had, but they were no less enjoyable to wear with the pants I ordered. A comfortable fit and easy to put on and remove.

These are made quality, to make the finishing touches to your suit.

Nice braces.

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!

Along with canvas pants, added great authenticity to my storytelling. Good product at a good price, GREAT service!

Very good item look and feel good

these go great with the pants I got from Y'all . Very Satisfied.

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.

Great looking and great wearing suspenders. They will go well with my Old West wardrobe.

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.

An affordable solution to a period necessity!

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.

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.

title says it all , they are a nice colour , adjusted easily in minutes , clip onto and of of the buttons easy enough , do not come off as you are wearing them or sitting down .

These are really nice. Authentic and heavy duty. These will not wear out any time soon.

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!
