Work Suspenders - Bridle Leather - Fully Adjustable - Made in USA

Comfortable. Fit nearly perfectly straight out of the box. Good thick, heavy leather. Shearling on shoulder straps would be a major improvement. The wool padding is too stiff. Comments about back strap slipping are absolutely insane the fit is so tight it’s a struggle to adjust. I’ll probably just punch in a brass rivet to the back support once I fine tune my feel. Built perfectly to work with the stronghold belt system.

I wanted heavy duty rugged suspenders that were all leather with none of that stretchy elastic material. I also wanted them to have a nice appearance and not look like dedicated work suspenders. These were the only ones to fit that criteria for me. The brownish burgundy color is very rich and the chrome buckles and hardware look nice and function well. I had no problem adjusting these suspenders. The range is accommodating from small to large. They can quickly be attached and removed once the loop attachments have been installed on your belt, by using the clasps, for bathroom breaks and such. Four loop attachments are included (one kit). I bought these for casual wear so I removed the heavy shoulder pads. The process is easy. (1) unbuckle both front straps. (2) slide the horizontal chest strap down and off. (3) slide the shoulder pads off. (4) reinstall the chest strap and make up the buckles. Done. You could also slide them off the back by removing the round strap guide (thing) which is how I did it because the chest strap was so tight, I did not think it was supposed to move. It has loosened up some. In the picture the horizontal chest strap appears to be riveted on, but on my suspenders you can slide it and adjust the height. It is tight and requires some force to move, so it does not flop down. I would have actually preferred a chest strap that attached with clamps (clamps that would not scar the leather). That way you could install and remove the chest strap fast, as desired. Mine uses leather loops for attachment. It seems feasible that these loops could loosen as the leather stretches to the point where the strap might fall down, but I could be wrong. They seem a little expensive, but there is nothing really to compare them with. When you actually break these suspenders down into their seperate components there is not a lot to them, but what are you going to do make them yourself (c'mon). They were delivered fast right to my front door by Fed Ex. They can be a little restricting but that is the nature of suspenders. I recently removed the chest strap which makes them a lot more comfortable, but now they have a tendency to migrate down my shoulders a little. They need semi-frequent repositioning. Removing the chest strap would probably not be practical for working applications. As these suspenders break in and soften I can foresee them becoming very comfortable. These are the first pair of suspenders that I have ever owned and I really like them. Everything that It wrote is truthful to Its experierce. This is only Its opinion. Yours may be completely different. If yours is different, It sorry. Ignore It. Taste is subjective. You only live once. Good luck.

Great for the job. Leather too, so no micro plastics in my water. Thanks PETA.

A couple of things. First of all, these things are super comfortable when they are adjusted correctly. I've had them for a year and where them everyday as a framer and I'm guessing they will last for years to come, which puts them miles ahead of every other suspender I've used. That being said, here are a few criticisms and comments. They're leather so they stretch which means you periodically need to adjust them. I like leather, so not a big deal. I'm 6'1" and I'm almost at the shortest setting on the suspenders, so if you're shorter, you might need to buy a leather punch. Also, once they've broken in, the shoulder pads and the back separator move around, which can be annoying while working. I'm going to pop rivet mine in place. Lastly, like all Occidental leather, the color bleeds when they are new, so expect to stain some shirts if you're sweating.

First set of suspenders ever purchased and owned, and have worn them since day one, and work very well. These suspenders I use for my work pants that seem to feel like there made from a heavy material, Which is why is why purchased these suspenders. Now I'm trying to find out the best overall way to break them in without destroying them . Aside from that these suspenders are really nice.

These are amazing. It feels as if I can hold 100kg of tools off them. I didn’t buy them for that though. I had been wearing suspenders instead of belts for a year or so now and after getting fed up with carhartt, I thought I’d buy something nice. They are very well made and well engineered for purpose and off purpose. Wifey thinks I look more handsome in them so there’s that. They are jangly and “how the frig do I adjust these?” But once dialed in, they are comfy on my 6’ 118kg frame. Edit and addendum: They are so nice looking that I get asked where I got them from repeatedly. I should get a commission. :;)

I've used this for about 6 months now. I have found these to extremely durable, and made to extremely high standards. The big issue I have with these are the shoulder pads. Basically, they are fairly thick and stiff, meaning that there are a couple of spots on the edge of the pads over the shoulder blades that rub. It isn't super noticeable if you are wearing a sweater, or if it isn't hot out.

Accurate description.

Nice bit of gear reasonably priced adjustments are good we'll see how they deal with the heat of Alice Springs Australia

Sturdy, stiff leather will always soften to perfection while soft leather will weaken with time, let me tell you this is a once in a lifetime purchase as this leather is superb! Beautiful, strong and well designed for ease of use these work suspenders will hold up to decades of on the job wear and heavy tools. The shoulder straps are adjustable but could have had more holes to adjust even further, I used my leather punch to get the right fit for my body Overall very worthwhile purchase

Sturdy, simple and well made work suspenders. I’m using it with a Zakco tool belt and it fits perfectly. Now I can carry more heavy tools, drivers, etc. without loosing my working pants! ;0) After twelve days of work 10 hours a day, I’m very pleased with them. They are confortable and I didn’t have sore shoulders. The shoulder straps should have had more holes. I had to make a few more and I had to cut the extra strap unfortunately. I don’t use the chest strap but I’m sure it is useful for other people. Great product.

I have an occidental belt and my hips/ back are screaming at me in pain at the end of the week. Since I bought these suspenders, they have relieved me completely of any pain. They're amazing and worth every penny. I'm never dissapointed with occidentals products. Sure, they're pricey but occidental is a one-time purchase. You can abuse them to hell and they'll last you your entire life. They're also beautiful
