Trouser braces

[Salaud]

Brimarc heavy duty 2" braces, built like tanks m8, the clips never come off by accident, available from fleabay for around a tenner, in a huge variety of colours/designs.. you can look anything from cool (ok, not really) to complete pillock depending on which you go for , I personally elect for the total tit look with multicoloured monstrosities

I have a pair of suspenders, they have leather loops at the ends, I don't really like the clip on type. More comfortable than a belt I think! Not taken them out camping or hiking yet. I'd think it'd cause irritation on your shoulders with them rubbing over the straps of a rucksack.

When I have tried braces some of them have tended to slip off my shoulders - so I always fancied a pir of the sort you sometimes see in American films where the two shoulder straps join almost behind the neck and there is a long piece down to the back waistband - never come across them for sale ( but then I haven't really been looking)

Thanks for that - not certain they are like the ones I was thinking of, which had a very long back single piece - ?maybe 10" or more - I will check when I get the urge forsome more braces - thanks for the link

They sell Y style braces, which hook onto the belt and don't slip off your trousers.

I got my braces from here, http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GILLSIDE-T...+braces&submit=Search&_fsub=10&_sid=132375182
They have a good selection and also do a lot of button braces which I prefer to use. I still use a belt, but suspenders are a lot better at holding up my wool trousers. I also have no trouble wearing them underneath a rucksack, the only time they can get a bit uncomfortable is when my trousers get wet they get heavier which stretches the suspenders a bit so I adjust them and the metal clip used to do that can end up right under the strap for my bag.

You can get no sew jeans buttons (a pin comes through the jeans into the button) - cheap enough on amazon as well - to put the buttons for the braces onto your trousers - although I'm using them for leatherwork as well.

Albert Thurston make a very good selection of British-made braces in a variety of colours, widths and fabrics. The downside is that they are not cheap.

I got some fairly heavy-duty braces from Ebay. I use them with my fairly leather motorbike trousers.

On the bike I had to experiment with tightness to prevent pulling on the shoulders.
