Thanks so much, please do post a pic or 2 as I have never worn braces and want to have a look to see if the buttons are the same configuration as the pants are set up to take. Or are they universal? In any case, thanks a bunch for the offer. You can PM or post the pics here, no rush whatsoever.
Wannabe,
Here are some pics:
Closeups of the ends:
The ends that go to the back are single button & the ends at the front are for double button, or in the case of a single button front,you can just slip both ends of the leather "spreaders" over one button. Or,you can disconnect the front ends by undoing the snaps that hold the "spreaders" and put your own homemade, or purchased single button ends on the front straps.
When I pulled these out of the bag that the suspenders were given to me in, I saw that there was something "gummy" on one of the ends that has the "spreaders". I tried wiping the stuff off, and got most of the stuff off, but not all of it. I don't have any idea what the stuff is, or what to use to remove the remaining gunk, but I got most of it just by wiping. I can't ask the feller that gave them to me what it might be, because he has passed on". It almost looks & feels like some kind of wax, or something.
Regardless, they are still in excellent condition, if ever even worn, & are certainly serviceable, even if they were not cleaned any more than what little I did. I just wanted you to be aware of that info, if it had any impact on your deciding if you want them. If ya felt it necessary, I am sure with a little more effort & with the right cleanser, they would seem brand new out of a box. Personally, I would wear them as they are, since I am always getting into dirt & stuff anyway.. I'd wait until they "really" needed a cleaning...LOL
Anyway, If you would like them PM me your mail address & I will get them shipped off. If not, just say so here & I will offer them to someone else who might want to use them. Hopefully they fit your wants & be an Xmas gift for ya.
