Tartan Braces
Tartan braces in clan, district and fashion setts, with leather ends and metal clips or buttons. Braces hold trousers from the shoulder rather than gripping the waist, which is why they sit more comfortably than a belt over a long day and keep the trouser line cleaner. They are worn with trousers and a suit, not with a kilt, since a kilt has its own straps and buckles. Over 5000 setts to choose from. Braces suspend trousers from the shoulder rather than gripping the waist, so the waistband sits at its natural size and the leg hangs straight from the hip. Button fixings are traditional and considerably more secure, needing buttons sewn inside the waistband, which any tailor does in minutes. Clips work on any trousers with no alteration. Never wear braces and a belt together, since they do the same job by opposite means.
