It was 2 years ago when I started to wear brace. I will not use metal clip anymore (thanks Ask Andy!ernest-- Fine looking braces, chap. Â But can it be--No. No.--that two or three are fitted with clip-on attachments? Â (Say it isn't so!Good for you to develop the habit of wearing braces when young. Â At my age you may have no choice. Â (For cautionary purposes, I should show recent snapshots of me, proud possessor of a new champagne-hued Hong Kong gabardine MTF whose belted trousers, unbeknownst to their loutish wearer, started to sag halfway through the party. Ugh!Mike
All are clip AND button, I have the choice.Are those braces English?
I prefer the buttoned variety. Quite nice.
Thanks, Phil. Great info. Gives new meaning to "well hung," doesn't it?yes, pants are definetely cut a bit different when worn with braces. Â In general, they are looser at the waist, since they actually hang from the braces. Â not so loose that they would fall to your feet without the braces on, but looser than with a belt certainly. Â its an interesting question because in general, when braces were more popular, pants tended to have longer rises, and be a big baggier than nowadays. I wonder if that was to account for the braces, or if the use of the braces made it necessary to cut the pants in such a way. kind of a chicken or the egg scenario. Â In any case, you can wear braces with most dress pants, but they will look and hang better if they have a longer rise and looser waist. Â most brace afficianados try to make sure that the pants have no belt loops, but i think that is a minor detail. Â if you take off those belt loops you are making a committment to braces that you cant take back without going to the tailor and putting the loops back on.
