Albert Thurston Suspenders

THE ASKMEN TAKE

Using a 1930s gold motif in warm hues, these Albert Thurston suspenders are constructed of a 40mm-wide jacquard ribbon with a petersham lining. Providing style and comfort in lieu of the cinching strain of a summer belt, these suspenders feature adjustable brass buckles while the elasticity of the jacquard ribbon maintains a proportional image of classic golfers in 1930s fairway attire.

87 UNIQUENESS

These particular suspenders from Albert Thurston feature the option of using either a brass clip or leather button loop attachments. Most well-made or English-inspired suits have suspender or brace buttons already placed and sewn into the interior of the waistline of the trousers. Any good tailor is able to add these buttons for you, but these suspenders save you the effort and trip to the tailor with their detachable brass clips. Choose which look or attachment you need and you’re on your way. This convenient choice makes the price of these suspenders all the more affordable.

DURABILITY

A pair of Albert Thurston suspenders -- or braces, if you will -- with their dark brown leather-ends and a classic sportsman image such as that seen on the 1930s golfer model, will have staying power in your wardrobe, offering versatility over time. Stripes and polka dots are fine if you’re buying multiple pairs of suspenders, but these ones may be worn with either a dark navy suit, cream colored trousers and a sport coat or, if you’re a daring man of the summer, a seersucker suit with white bucks. You might even wear these suspenders with a dark pinstripe suit to give yourself a more sporting look.
