Black, Dressy, Suspenders
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.

Nobody will see them, but you'll know.
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.

Just right
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.

Perfect!
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.

Works for Me
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...

nice silky grey braces
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.)

Cowboy braces
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!

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.

superb product just as advertised
This is my second ordered item and these live up to every word they say. They look identical to some old braces from my grandfather that he got from great grand pappy, in design. Sturdy and sound. They are a light Khaki color that like the picture when the light hits right seem more a creamy white satin in appearance. If you have just a regular costume quality shirt, you will feel the need to upgrade just to show these baby's off (as I am doing). IF I could give 10 stars I would.
