Renaissance Suspenders

These suspenders are good for what I expected, but I was hoping that they would fit a bit better as many other reviews have stated. The back bunches up due to my build, and they had to be adjusted to the tightest setting just to work somewhat well. The clips that attach the suspenders don't work unless there's a loop of some kind either, so that's a bummer. The materials used are actually very high quality, and you can feel it pretty fast out of the box, but the material feels a bit thin to be supporting your pants and anything in your pockets.

This product is one of those that look better in the pictures than it does in the real world. It looks ok in person, but it is for sure made very poorly. This is so thin I would expect to tear it over time and don't expect it to last as long as they make it sound it would. The clips seem to be good quality though and hold on to your trousers nicely. there is plenty of adjustment on length and width at the shoulders. I will say that this at the shortest length is still decently long, so it is not made with shorter people in mind. I am 5'8 and it is borderline too long for me so take that into account. With the cheap quality with the thin leather and not being good for shorter people, I can't recommend it. It just doesn't have the value in my opinion. I would keep shopping for something different unless this drops its price point.

I keep trying to be more positive about this, but I just can't in all honesty: the carabiner-style clips mar an otherwise great set of suspenders. You have to have belt loops to clip these onto, it won't work with suspender buttons or clipping onto the waistband itself. Just feels like an unnecessary unforced error.

That being said, as a guy with big shoulders, I'm very appreciative of the adjustable shoulder width.

Suspenders are just fun. These suspenders are awesome. They are easy to use and work well. You don't even have to trouble yourself with attaching the back suspender.

This review is for the Hide & Drink, Renaissance Suspenders for Groomsmen, Back Support Harness for Men, Best Men, Steampunk Style, Full Grain Leather, Handmade, Bourbon Brown.

So I'm a fan of the brand and I love supporting the brands/artisans who are members of the Stockyard Exchange. But I'm not super excited about this one item. I love the style. I'm a short female and intended to use these with renfaire/cosplay outfits. I generally find their items to be of very high quality genuine leather that warrent a 5 star rating. But regardless I must rate each item with a critical eye and honestly.

So impressions when first opened... yeah! They are indeed wonderfully soft/supple real genuiine leather. Hardware is high quality as expected with this brand as is the overall construction good and nicely finished leather.

My issues are first these are a dark chocolate brown, and the pics in the listing clearly show a much lighter distressed color which is what I wanted. Secondly the leather is very thin, and being very experienced with leather items/gear I have to wonder how much actual rugged use they will stand up to?

I'm sure I'll make use of these still and will update my review if needed. Regular price $59.99 per the listing is just too high.

As always I only do honest reviews and update if needed. I hope this helps you make the best choices how to spend your $.
