Austrian Y-Suspenders, Leather, Surplus

The Austrian Bundesheer hung on to the Germanic traditions in field gear long after the war. These Y-suspenders are a splendid example of this and were still made in the '70s.

As good as black leather suspenders get, these are quite similar to the WW2 German model, but with some differences in the details, the biggest ones being the added padding, "open" strap connection piece, and a slightly different rear strap.

Although these are not identical to the WW2 suspenders, function-wise they are exactly the same. This means you can use an A-frame, Tornister, and even the East German Sturmgepack with these.

Old Austrian military surplus

In used, but serviceable condition. The appearance is scruffy and we recommend a thorough cleaning and using leather oil or grease to soften these before serious action.
