Ha ha!!

Why's that

I reckon they will become big again soon.... You heard it here first!

I know I can purchase them on the net but would like to know id they're available in town. I say BT2 may have them but they would be hard to get I'm guessing; maybe I'm wrong though....

They're called "braces" in this country. I imagine BT's/Louis Copeland/Topman (perhaps) would have them. Anywhere that sells good suits.

Thank you for the advice. At least I know the proper 'lingo' to use now

ha ha; I love it!

Its funny seeing farmers using that as a belt. I have often seen it used; well down in the country.

we use it for everything, dog leads, keeping the booth closed in car when carrying bales, holding up our trousers,
it is a case of reduce reuse recycle
talking of cycle
we tie our groceries to carriers of our bikes
tie the stable doors with it

Think there might be a bit of a difference between suspenders and braces! Don't see too many braces in Ann Summers! And certainly never saw bailing twine:D

Hey. M&S have them for sure, and braces are listed on topman & riverisland websites... h&m might have them, or new look. And if you're in dublin, try the eager beaver in temple bar.

Please keep to the topic. Banter is catered for in the Chatwalk thread.



Braces (UK & Ireland) or suspenders (USA) are available in two types. Snap fixes or button fixes. The snaps are the most versatile and the most common. Button fixes need to have the buttons sewn into the waistband of your trousers but they are so much better looking.

You'll find them in most mens shops (avoid boys shops :rolleyes:). They are becoming more popular again with the mix of retro, ska and rockabilly looks doing the rounds. The ones currently available are a bit bland, mostly solid colors, blue red black. If you want something with a bit of life in them you'll have to order online.

So 'Braces' did take off after all I wore them for the first time in December for a christmas night out and I also saw load's of people wearing them recently!

They do thick ones in Pennys like in the photo but a little bit thinner, but if you're looking for the more thin ones you can get them on sale in topman too
