BRACE YOURSELF

The texture, the style, the trend,
Check the braces I spin.
Again and again and again

 

BRACE YOURSELF...

BRACE YOURSELF...

COME ON AND DO IT...

 

 

Gentlemen wear braces, firemen wear suspenders; firemen are in a hurry, gentlemen are not. The difference? Braces have buttons and suspenders have clips. Clips damage pants and are never a good idea unless the only thing you require is something that will keep your pants up. If you want to make a vintage fashion statement have your dry cleaner sew brace buttons inside the waistband of your pants.

Braces kept pants at your natural waist in the 20s and above it in the 30s.

Braces should not be all elastic. Too much stretch leads to bouncy pants. Authentic braces are Y-shaped and the elastic is on the vertical stem of the Y only. Fabrics can look a lot like neck tie silk but should coordinate, not match, the tie. Braces can also be made of elaborate woven jacquards depicting various motifs and scenes.

Never, ever wear a belt and braces. No one should be that concerned with their pants falling down while in civilized society.
