Not really compared to other suspenders, they'll go up to 35$ whereas Sag Straps are only 20$. (http://www.suspenders.com/du_casual.htm) Also, with any other suspenders you will have your pants up at your belly bottom (at least if you're me). Additionally, Sag Straps come with a limited lifetime warranty, so by the time you break your Wal Mart suspenders a million times and buy more, they will have paid for themselves. Plus, other suspenders don't look nearly as cool, but I guess some people like the look...
Keep an eye out for next years, they'll be such a step up in our game, from the colorways, quality, and durability, I guarantee it will be the worth the wait.
