Well, I can't recommend anything of higher quality than Kirby Allison - so I don't have much to add on brands except possibly for something they might not offer. The biggest question is going to be your personal style and how expressive you want to be with your suspenders. Most people are comfortable having their tie and/or pocket square - especially the pocket square - being the most expressive part of their outfit. This isn't always the case with suspenders. While many people would feel fine wearing purple suspenders in an outfit with a purple tie - especially when they're under a jacket - not everyone would be comfortable with purple suspenders sans tie and jacket. My general recommendation is to think about your socks when evaluating suspenders. If you're a person who always matches your socks to your shoes, match your suspenders to your leathers. If you're a person who always matches your socks to your trousers, match your suspenders to your trousers or your shirt. If you like subtly matching your socks to your pocket square, do the same for your suspenders. If you like having your socks strike up conversations, do that with your suspenders. I have a pair of Trafalgar suspenders in a cityscape motif that I love - and bought them used off Poshmark. I have several pairs of random brands from various sources that I wear intermittently. My most commonly-worn suspenders are from JJ Suspenders and are 0.75" wide leather suspenders. I typically wear these when I know my suspenders will be largely visible. I recently purchased a pair of purple suspenders from KK&J, and I know I'm going to love them. Of course, I'll wear them most often when I'm wearing a purple tie. If you want to try out brands to see if you'll like them, my first recommendation is to look at Poshmark, eBay, or other second-hand sites. This allows you to spend a little money on a particular brand to find out whether it's worth spending more money on that brand to get what you really want. Bottom-line: You Do You.

"I always try to remember that the braces are not to be seen." - @Jeffrey Plotka I have to disagree hard on this one. This is a very old take whose context has long since disappeared. The adage that suspenders/braces are underwear and should not be seen comes from the same time and context wherein dress shirts were considered underwear and should not be seen. Saying, today, that suspenders are like underwear is just as relevant as saying dress shirts are like underwear. The only modern context in which one can logically say that suspenders shouldn't be seen is when wearing white-tie, black-tie, or a three-piece suit - since, in these circumstances, visible suspenders means you've done something incorrectly. However, pretty much ever since the advent of the two-piece suit, some visibility of suspenders has been expected - just like some visibility of the shirt is expected. When we started manufacturing shirts in colors other than white or ivory and - especially - shirts with patterns, the shirt stopped being considered underwear. The same thing can be said for suspenders. For over 100 years, suspenders have been worn regularly as a part of casual outfits with the intention of being seen...

Very nice pop of orange - not too loud or bright. Is that worsted? It almost looks like it has a texture but it doesn't really look like a sharkskin, either...

@Brian McGuire From those images, it does look very similar. Let's call it a Subtle Sharkskin... 😁

Shirt looks great! Reda Dove Melange?

@Allan Chiang If so, I have one from that same fabric. I love my Reda merino wool shirts from Proper Cloth. Year-round comfort...
