I've dug out this old pair of suspenders - maybe thirty years old -
Would they pass for old time?
I make and sell these braces. Based on Civil War era photos but modified for modern repro trousers with 4 buttons in the front. No elastic, all handsewn. I also make some sewn on original handcrank sewing machine for you uptown fellers. Your 30 yr old braces will work, are they authentic? Thats another question. Braces are one of those things that generally only you will know how correct they are. Havent been to a CAS shoot where they was checkin' yer underdrawers!! Civil War, maybe.

"I do not believe in ghosts so I do not burn a candle waiting for them. As to the killing of a bad man, when it comes to a fight, it is the other man or me. And when the deed is done, why bother the mind? Afterall, the killing of a bad man should not bother anymore than the killing of a rat, a vicious cat or an ugly dog" James Butler Hickok when asked if he ever thought about the men he had killed.
