[hollowsleather]

Looking good, Beatle.

[edmond]

[element02]

Love those McCoy's.

I've been looking for a thread like this. I have several LVC's and have wondered about wearing braces with them.

Suspenders rock!!! I love to wear suspenders with my denime and LVC 1901, both only have suspenderbuttons. Wish my LVC1937 had some suspenderbuttons on them from the start.

If you can't get a pro to do it for you, it's pretty easy to do on your own. You need a hammer and a sharp skewer.

The buttons come in two parts, the wider, female part that ends up on the outside of the waistband and the narrower male part that end up on the inside. Make a hole in the waistband where you want the button, then pass the male part of the button through. Then, balance the female part on top (you may find it difficult to get the female bit to balance, in which case use a matchstick or two to keep it in place). Next, give it a good smack with your hammer. Hey presto!

I got myself a pair of NDG rancher jeans (from SS08) recently. They have suspender buttons, however the ones on the back are far apart. So, I need some braces like these to hold 'em up (note the back button connectors on these are not joined together):

Any idea where I could pick some up, in London or NY? Cheers.

I hear you brother! haha

[wgmds]

[Zazamoot]

Well, I've taken the plunge. I'm wearing these about the house to try and get... acclimatised.

these are ex-MOD braces, good neutral color and hardware and ridiculously cheap - £3.80 including postage from this seller , whom I'd definitely recommend. THese come in four lengths - for use with jeans you need to specify the largest size, 110cm

[Haku]

I have the same ones pault and the colour works well with jeans for those who don't want them to stand out too much. Still get grief off the mrs for wearing them out in public tho!

[roy6]

Sewed these on myself. Chunky bakelite looking buttons with embroidery floss. I took the floss through each button several times.

I lost one button last year and had to replace but, but the others have all held up well.

[beatle]

well done..I prefer metal buttons - but those are a statement

[Joseph Hill]

"...Old-timey dung's and button on braces

Frankenstein boots and confused public faces

These are a few of my favorite things..."

Boppin' around the foothills of Snoqualmie Pass is almost like being in the Alps.

[triumph.man]

bill you still provide service of adding suspender buttons?

tried pm-ing you, but seems like it's been disabled.

[Paul T]

Here we go. A week on the farm with 1900s-style cabin, stove, brit army braces, 1901 LVC and Sunset Shirt.

[almostnice]

looking good Paul,but whats with the mess in the background?

allright,that illy espresso-tin shows that your coffee taste is better than your sense of order.

[Paul T]

THis is life on the frontier. Of course, in the 1900s it's the job of mrs t to do the sweeping and cooking but she wasn't as faithful to the period as me. Also she was armed with a heavy cast iron frying pan and even though I had a poker to brandish feared I might come off worse.

[almostnice]

whats with your son?you could give him some 19.century style slapping to encourage him,or didnt he finish his 14 hour shift in the local coalmine then?

These braces have been on my wishlist for a long time, but I don't think I can get them in the states easily.

Have you guys seen anything similar around?

I'm pretty sure I saw something RRL made similar to this recently....they weren't cheap, but they looked amazing.

[pepper davies]

I can't find any nice suspenders anywhere... One pair of Dappers is still available on The Wild One, but I'm the pattern isn't really my style. Can anyone make some recommendations. Willing to go through a proxy if necessary.
