A beautifully understated pair of light blue braces, handmade in England by Albert Thurston, the celebrated English brace maker established in 1820.
The softly coloured woven straps are finished with contrasting ivory leather ends and polished gold-tone adjusters, creating an elegant combination particularly well suited to spring and summer tailoring.
Designed with traditional leather button ends, the braces attach to buttons positioned inside the trouser waistband rather than clipping to the outside. The result is a cleaner, more refined appearance and the traditional sartorial way to wear braces.
The pale blue makes these particularly versatile for weddings and occasion dressing, pairing beautifully with navy, grey, cream and lighter summer tailoring.
The brace ribbon is woven in England from a 50% cotton and 50% nylon blend. The runner ends are made from 100% Italian bovine leather, with brass-coloured fittings. Each pair of braces (suspenders) is supplied with six buttons for attaching to trousers.
