I’ve owned many pairs of Buckle-Down suspenders and I’d never had any issues with the buckles, however, on my most recent order, at least two (I haven’t worn the third yet) had buckles that fell apart after only a few snaps and unsnaps. Not a huge deal because I frequently wear suspenders and know how to reassemble the snaps, but I realized it was because the sides either weren’t closed together tightly enough on assembly, or they were bent out of shape in transit. Love the design and love wearing them otherwise now that I’ve fixed them.
