Damages
The Option 1 (clear and direct):
Hi, I received the item, but it appears to be broken. The two parts that are supposed to attach to each other do not connect properly. As you can see in the photo, the hook mechanism is damaged and cannot be secured. Please let me know how we can proceed with a replacement or return.

Hello Ali,
Thank you for your review.
We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the stud mechanism. My colleague Min replied to your email as soon as we received your photo — before this review was posted — with instructions on how to resolve it.
As your order was placed back in November and has been in use, it’s most likely that the screw has loosened over time. The hardware is designed to be adjustable and can easily be tightened with a small flat-head screwdriver. We also include a spare stud in the cotton bag with every original order for exactly this reason.
If you’re unable to locate the spare, please let us know — we’ll gladly send you a complimentary replacement stud right away.
We stand behind our products and are always happy to make things right.
Kind regards,
Mike & Team Wiseguy Original
It seemed like a lot of money, but...
I agonized for a while to decide to pay this price for a pair of suspenders. I'm so glad I did. They don't pop off. They really work far better than narrow elastic suspenders. Even the clip fasteners are much higher quality than others I have seen. Since I wear them every day, I appreciate how well made they are--they have continued to look good for the last many months, and I'm looking forward to adding more to my wardrobe.

Dear Jerry,
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review!
We know our suspenders can feel like a considered purchase, especially compared to the many cheaper options out there. It truly means a lot that you gave us a chance — and even more that they’ve earned their place in your daily rotation.
Hearing that they stay put, feel solid, and continue to look good after months of wear is exactly what we aim for when we design and make them. Small details, like the strength of the clips and the quality of the elastic, really do matter — especially if you’re wearing them every day.
We’re genuinely grateful for your trust and support. When you’re ready to add another pair, we’ll be here.
Kindest regards, Mike & Team Wiseguy Original

After a couple months of measuring and trying custom fit suspenders, I finally achieved my goal and got the perfect fit . Wiseguys went over and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I wanted after spending money at their store . They sent and paid for all the new pairs of suspenders until I received the perfect fit. I’m very grateful for their kindness , because they truly didn’t have to remedy anything after I cut the original pair trying to make them fit me . However , they reached out first to make sure I received what I payed for . Truly , truly grateful for their kindness .

Hello Antonio,
Thank you for your incredibly kind words and for sharing your experience.
At Wiseguy Original, we strongly believe that when something goes wrong — whether on our end or even if a customer makes a mistake — it’s our responsibility to do everything in our power to make it right. Never let you down isn’t just a motto for us; it’s our mission.
We’re truly glad we could remake the suspenders and ensure you ended up with the perfect fit you deserved. Thank you for your patience, trust, and for giving us the opportunity to make things right in the end.
We’re grateful to have customers like you.
Warm regards and have a good weekend,
Mike & Team Wiseguy Original
I can only give 1 for my initial…
I can only give 1 for my initial thoughts. Shipping label created and no update for weeks. Reached out in email and they said the order was never shipped and they would expedite. Finally shipped from Thailand. Quality is not there. Material is very thin and I question whether it is actually leather since it has no irregularities and smells/feels like chemicals. We'll see if they absorb water/sweat like leather would. I could do without the huge logo on the back, too. I frequently purchase quality leather products and would not purchase these again.

Dear Wes,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we’re genuinely sorry this wasn’t what you had hoped for.
Shipping delays can occasionally happen due to issues with our shipping partners, but we completely understand how frustrating the lack of updates must have been and we should have communicated better.
As for the product, we want to reassure you that we only use real USA leather, though we understand this particular item didn’t meet your expectations.
Your feedback about the logo is appreciated and something we will reflect on.
We rarely receive feedback like this and truly value it. We’ll reach out to you directly so we can look into this together and find a solution that feels right for you.
Kind regards,
Mike & Team Wiseguy Original

I like how the leather is smooth against my neck and shoulders. I’m glad they’re adjustable to get the right fit. The only issue I’ve had is that the leather part is of course not stretchy, so if I move in certain ways or pull upward too hard, the clip tends to pop off my pants. I would like to use the claws that grab the belt loops but not all my pants have belt loops.

Worth the wait! I love my Wiseguy Suspenders!!
After a little mixup with the shipping, The folks at Wiseguy got it straightened out, and I received my Barberpole suspenders, and couldn't be happier. As a Barber, I proudly wear them a lot. I get a lot of comments while I am out shopping..."nice suspenders"!! I will definitely recommend them to other Barbers. Nice quality, should last a long time.

Your support and recommendation are so much appreciated! Warm regards, Mike & Team Wiseguy Original

I wore them for a week and they broke I’m very disappointed I spent a lot more than I could have for suspenders I thought would last but the price vs quality was not there
December 3, 2025
Reply from Wiseguy Original
Hi Blake,
I’m really sorry to hear that the clip broke after such a short time — that’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have with Wiseguy Suspenders.
One unique feature of our suspenders is that the hardware is fully interchangeable. That means the clips, loops, or lobster hooks can easily be swapped — and we include spare parts with each order so that, if a clip ever fails, you can simply replace it.
That said, this still shouldn’t have happened. We build our suspenders to last for years, and when something rare like this occurs we always make it right. We’d be very happy to send you new clips, a replacement pair, or a full refund — whichever you prefer.
If you could please get back in touch with us at info@wiseguyoriginal.com, we’ll take care of this for you right away.
Thanks again for bringing it to our attention — apologies for the inconvenience, and happy new year!
Kind regards,
Mike Spits
Co-Owner | Wiseguy Original
