For the gentleman who can properly work suspenders (I happen to witness one in NYC yesterday myself doing it proper with short pants) may we suggest these tabbed suspenders from Filson available at Blackbird. ”100% cotton colorfast 7 oz. elastic suspenders with 1.5″ wide adjustable straps, vegetable tanned genuine bridle leather crosspiece embossed with “C.C. Filson Co, Seattle, Since 1897″, and bridle leather button tabs (four tabs in front featuring brass rivets, two plain tabs in back). Made in the U.S.A.”

Mix a little elk leather with some tape strapping and you get these vintage style Levi’s suspenders. Now, not all suspenders are made equal as we have discovered from our friends at Billykirk, but these do catch the eye. Elk is not your everyday leather, which is probably why you’ll only find this pair via the Japan Levi’s store. A pity.

Just in case you were in need of some zoophilic suspenders, try these from Mister Mort. The Baron Von Fancy for Mister Mort suspenders are available through email inquiry only over at Mister Mort’s blog. They have a science book feel to them but nevertheless we’re sure you’ll find use for wear.

You remember those great bank bags that Billykirk developed with Freemans Sporting Club not too long ago? Well, the bank bags was not the only collaborative idea to come away from that meeting. Taavo from Freemans is a fan of the bringing the best the classics have to market, in a genuine way. He acquired  a pair of vintage suspenders that were 3/4″ in width – a size that has not been standard in the U.S. suspender world for more than 40 years. He put the Billykirk guys on a mission to make them a reality. After some long hours calling old timers of the industry, they found their supplier for the elastic and hardware in England and the rest is history. We should note that the elastic is dye to color which gives it a very deep and rich look.

These fine Billykirk for Freemans Sporting Club 3/4 Suspenders are available at Freemans Sporting Club on 8 Rivington St. in NYC.
