A wardrobe staple! Navy boxcloth suspenders made with gilt brass fittings (silver metal) and black goatskin leather ends by the venerated Albert Thurston Company. A set of suspender buttons included.
The elastic back band measures 8" from leather end to yoke, and the boxcloth bands that go over the shoulders measure 27" from yoke to each end.
Important note: I had a tailor trim the end tabs, which means that although the braces can still be adjusted shorter, they cannot be lengthened. If you're not sure whether or not these suspenders will fit you, do this: Throw a cloth tape measure over one shoulder and have a friend hold one end of the tape at the rear waistline of your slacks, right at the center of the suspender button. Then bring the tape from your shoulder down to the center of the suspender button on the front of your slacks (on the same side of your body, of course), and take that measurement. If it's 44" or less, these suspenders will fit you.
CONUS shipping is on me. I've also sweetened the deal to include, at no extra cost, three pocket squares (two no-name and one Kent Wang). (See photo.)
