The hardest part was choosing only one from the many great styles. Now I know there will be more opportunities.

Dear Ralf,
thank you so much for having taken the time to review us - greatly appreciated! It makes us super happy to hear you really like your suspenders and we’re always here to never let you down!
Not sure if you know our history, but my dad started Wiseguy Original at the young age of 80. He wanted to create his own suspenders brand as he could not find the ‘right ones’. I’d never worn suspenders and actually even thought ‘really silly product’.
Nowadays- ok - I am biased - but I would’t wear belts again. They pinch and are not good for your gut.
Anyways, just a little story about Wiseguy.
PS: my dad just turned 89 - not owner anymore as I took over however we sat down together a few weeks ago to develop a new clip he’s been whining about- should take a few months but it’s coming! That was really fun and made Pops super happy.
Take care and if there’s ever anything do reach out to Min or me!
Kindest, Mike
No free shipping to Finland :(
It was a bit annoying to not get free shipping to an expensive order when it was advertised at the website. The products were amazing as always <3

Hi Noora, completely understand your reaction but unfortunately shipping to a limited number of countries incl Finland from our warehouse in the Netherlands is very expensive - we’d love to offer free shipping to all destinations but we don’t have the margins for that.
PS: we’ll look at how we communicate as we don’t want to customers to get the wrong impression on this!
Kindest and thanks again for your review, Mike | Wiseguy Original

Great Suspenders, Better Customer Service
The suspenders are fantastic (I got the Crazy Horse Black Wide). High quality and beautiful. What really set the bar was their customer service. We had an issue with the initial shipment being lost, and I needed these for an event. They were lightning fast in responding that same night and took steps to have their warehouse ship me another set immediately which ensured I got them in time. Really appreciated, I’ll definitely recommend them to friends.

Order never shipper
I ordered one of the most expensive suspenders on the site for my wedding. Paid for the fastest shipping, and even that would have been slow. Thing is, my order NEVER came. 4 weeks later it never even shipped. Luckily I got a refund. Do better Wiseguy. I would have really loved your suspenders, but now I’ll never order here again.

I enjoy these suspenders
I enjoy these suspenders. The leather construction appears to be top notch. Only one issue I've experienced is the hardware coming unscrewed. I nearly lost one of the pegs to set fit length because of it. But, a bit of loctite, no problems.

Quality material, but size guide is off
Seems to be generally good quality, holding up well so far; however one of the rear clips has stopped working after little more than a week. Additionally, the size guide was misleading: it suggests size M/L for heights 5’9 - 6’4; however, I am 5’11 and the M/L had no holes at the appropriate length for me to use.

Reply from Wiseguy Original
Dear Andre,
Thank you for sharing this with us. So sorry the rear clip stopped working! There should be a spare in the package, did you see this?
Nonetheless, we’ll send you a complimentary new set of clips.
Would love to hear back from you how these function for you.
Regarding the sizing issue, were you able to solve this matter? I’ll discuss this point with our tailors too.
I’ll reach out to you via DM such that we can solve these matters to your full satisfaction.
Kind regards,

Unmatched customer service and quality
I had been looking hard for the perfect suspenders for me and my father as we both love the functionality but have only ever had cheap elastic ones. Then I found Wiseguy. With a nice and concise range of fabrics and models to choose from it was easy to find what I fancied. I ended up going for the hemp lobster clip suspenders "The Scribe" and "The Captain" which caught my eye immediately as I was looking for something pretty hearty. To my suprise, I had accidentally ordered the wrong size for one of them and had gotten pretty worried. Luckily, the great people over at Wiseguy had some of the best customer service I have ever experienced, stopping my order and as their moto says; not letting me down! A couple weeks later they arrived and let me tell you they are perfect! Hearty and durable while keeping them looking nice and sleek. Plus, the lobster clips are absolutely amazing and work like a charm! All in all I had an amazing and super smooth experience with Wiseguy Original and I'd buy from them again!

I’ve been wearing my suspenders for about two years. The fasteners have broken twice. I have to admit that I was disappointed in this. However, your excellent customer service made my experience satisfying and refreshing.
I do think that the quality of the lobster clips could be improved.
