Does Anyone Know where I can get Suspenders Like these in the US?

I got this link from another member on this forum... Was wondering if anyone knew where I can get nice 1920's style suspenders. I sent an email off to this company asking if they'd be willing to ship to the US. Obviously, my German wasn't as intelligible as I thought it was, and I got something of an off-putting response.:eusa_doh:

Anyhow, if anyone knows where I can get my hands on something similar... let me know!

Maybe not 100% vintage, but this is pretty close:

Not vintage but there are button suspenders available at Sears.

If I can help with the order in germany just drop me a pm. But I think the link from jdbenson has some fine suspenders. Might be easier and cheaper.

Thrift stores. Right now is the best time -- some thrift stores save suspenders as "Halloween" dress-up gear. If there are any older costume shops (like in a local antique district) ask them at the counter. Often these things are hidden in a pile, or they will know of another dealer with button suspenders.

I have fifty or so pair of button suspenders, and have never bought a pair new.

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm really looking for those white-ended braces... they just look very polished and vintage to me. Flat Foot, I appreciate the offer of assistance! I guess my German isn't nearly as good as I thought it was... still.... Odd response in the email I received. Has anyone else here had dealings with Juke-Jive?

Thanks Again!

How about our old friend David Morgan?

Yes. I bought a pair of "Original Navy Trousers" and because of "old stock" and the "Swing Era" caption of the shop I thought they would be older than 1950s but they where just some NVA (east german) navy pants. But they where cheap enough so I didn't complain.
I bought a wrong size and the seller was nice when I wanted to replace them for another pair.


They should be able to read and write in english. I don't understand their problem.

Here is an italian shop. Many of the products are similar to juke jive.

Albert Thurston has some white ended braces, and Bromleys ships to the US.

I've got four, and I bought them all at the thrift store...
