That's a nice one. If you want other options, look at:
Ede & Ravenscroft
New & Lingwood
Hilditch & Key
Favourbrook

I'm just about to order a pair of braces, but there's one thing I'm uncertain about. Are both white and black equally correct? I'm leaning a bit towards black (these).

Makes no difference. Braces are underwear and, as such, should never be seen.

Of course! I went with black, keeping it simple.

Perhaps a stupid question, but how does the cummerbund work in the case that the trousers are high rise and the jacket with a lower button stance? That’s how it is in my case, the tuxedo will have a high rise and the jacket’s button stance will be slightly lower (just above my navel). Won’t the cummerbund be visible above the button?

I greatly appreciate all the help. Thank you!

Yes, but that's not an issue.
