Try arborist supply stores! Pfanner makes a decent pair. Chainsaw pants are heavy and need the extra help. Theis store is Canadian, but you might have more local options: https://www.arboristsupply.ca/product/classic-suspenders-pfanner/444?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=169 Something to note here is that these do not have clasps. Clasps suck. If you are wearing pants that do not come with buttons to attach suspenders onto, it is very easy just to sew some on.

Ugh… my original tan briefcase was stolen out of my car back in 2015. Lost A LOT of important things that were in the bag, but I miss that bag the most.

This is such a dreamy gift idea! Maybe I will do this for my husband and I on our first wedding anniversary.

It's certainly aging a lot better.

I like Perry suspenders.

https://www.perrysuspenders.com/

They have hard, tough plastic hooks that are meant to hook into a belt. The never break or come apart. They don't set off airport metal detectors. It is quick and easy to switch them from one pair of pants to another. I have been using them for years.

Good lookin out. I missed that at first look. I've been wanting to buy some good kitchen knives. I have a discount for Benchmark but don't know what the best value is.

There are a lot of sellers on Etsy that sell leather suspenders for between 40 and 80 dollars.

There are many boutique sellers of various prices and material but I have no frame of reference in terms of quality. From a quick google search: Sellers like Col. Littleton

Bykowski

Grommet's leathercraft

Herd Wear claim to be based in Pennsylvania and that their bison leather suspenders are made by an Amish family but again I have no idea about quality or if any of it is true.

https://herdwear.net/collections/belts-and-suspenders/products/bison-leather-suspenders

I concur with another commenter in looking for stores that cater to Amish or Mennonites or just stores that sell "western" or "rural" attire in general.
