Australian Made Braces

X-back vs Y-back

Our braces are available in X-back and Y-back variants; this relates to the shape of the back strap of braces when worn. Although it is a personal preference as to which type of back will suit you best, we recommend selecting X-back if you require additional support and comfort from your braces. Please note that X-back braces are available in 25mm and 35mm widths, whereas our Y-back strap braces are available in 35mm widths only.

Leather ends vs Nickel clips.

Our braces come in two end finishes - leather ends and nickel clips. Leather ends, otherwise known as "button on braces", fit to buttons sewn on the waistband of men's pants. Nickel clips are our standard end and feature a pressed nickel clip that clamps onto the pants. These clips feature plastic 'teeth', which do not damage or mark pants. In addition, both styles feature nickel adjusters, which allow you to fit your braces perfectly.

Braces widths.

Our braces come in two widths: 25mm and 35mm. If you require additional support and stability from your braces, then we recommend selecting our large braces option with the 35mm broader width. 

Why own more than one pair of braces?

If you elect to own a pair of braces that feature nickel clips, we highly recommend that you invest in a few pairs, one for each type of trousers that you wear. Nickel clips have what we call "memory". Over prolonged wear, the clips will stretch to the thickness of the fabric on the pant's waistband. This can become problematic, especially if they are worn one day on a pair of thick jeans and then another day on a thinner pair of slacks.

Braces or suspenders?

In the realm of men's fashion, the terms 'braces' and 'suspenders' often get used interchangeably, contributing to a rich tapestry of style and expression. Mens braces, or suspenders, are distinctive accessories designed to hold up a gentleman's trousers, replacing the need for a belt. While traditionally associated with formal attire, braces have seen a resurgence in popularity across a variety of settings. 

At weddings and other special events, the combination of suspenders with a bow tie has become a popular trend, adding a dash of old-school elegance to modern menswear. This combination often gets accentuated with a pocket square, creating a coordinated look that exudes class and refinement. Trouser braces serve as a practical and stylish choice, creating a flattering silhouette while ensuring the trousers stay perfectly in place.
