Buffalo Leather Suspenders

A little stiff at first like most leather items. Has broken in nicely and all stitching is hilding up.

They are wonderful. One suggestions, have an extra strap across the leather to hold the extra strap down like on a belt. Husband doesn’t want to cut them incase he needs another length.

The suspenders are sturdy and comfortable!

My husband loves them

The swivel clips are an excellent addition to these work type suspenders. They look pretty nice for the orice, but most important to me is they will NOT BECOME IN-clipped from your belt loops. It would add cost, but they should have put stitching along the outside edges of the straps. I can tell that with more use the mechanical leather surface will start to peel or rip off starting at the edges a single row of stitching along the edge would’ve made them look better and would’ve held that “top Leather” byproduct on longer.

These fit the bill for tough everyday wear at heavy work. Might be too stiff for office work, 4mm strap leather.Plenty of length, I trimmed off some of the strap to fit and prevent “tail wagging” of unneeded strap for my 5’9” height.I had used some double stick tape on the straps before trimming, and when that did not hold on the glossy finish, the tape took chips out of the finish, see photos.Fiebings products to the rescue! and now these suspenders are just right.It’s a little work, but that’s leather.I first stripped the thin shiny finish with Fiebings Deglazer and some sanding with a 220 sanding sponge. Then a wipe of British Tan Dye, topped with a thin coat of Leather Sheen and a buffing.See photos of original finish and my test piece of cut off strap to show new finish. Also photo of the stripped leather and the dyed, oiled and waxed final product.

These suspenders seem to be very heavy duty. I will let you know if they dont hold up. The last pair of a name brand suspenders I purchased from Amazon seemed to be real sturdy too, but they broke at the hole in the leather that the buckle pin goes through less than 6 months after I got them. These are a much wider strap so hopefully they last longer. The only thing I don't particularly like about these is the strap loop is too close to the buckle and that makes it hard to get the strap through it and for some people, if they needed to use the very top strap hole it would let a long tail of strap dangling loose. Fortunately I only have about 3 inches protruding below the strap loop. I do like them very much.

Great quality
