Men's Y-back clip-on braces (suspenders in the US) with dark brown trim: smart for weddings, groomsmen and 1920s-themed parties.
The straps adjust for length with metal sliders, so they can be set to sit correctly with high-waisted suit trousers or with a more casual pair of chinos or cords. The leather-look trim adds a smart, finished detail where the straps meet.
The webbing is 80% elastane and 20% polyurethane, giving a medium stretch that moves with you through the day. By the supplier's measurements the straps are approximately 2.5 cm wide with a length of about 100 cm. Clip-on braces need no buttons sewn into the waistband, so they can be worn with almost any trousers you already own, and the vintage-style clips grip firmly without fuss.
Offered in black, coffee brown, navy, khaki, light grey, burgundy and white, plus a two-pack of black and light grey. Matching sets for a groom and his groomsmen are easy to put together, and burgundy or navy add a quiet flourish to a wedding suit. With a white shirt, rolled sleeves and a tweed flat cap, they also make a fine everyday look. A thoughtful gift for the man who prefers braces to a belt.
Clip-on braces grip the waistband directly and work with almost any trousers you already own. Hook braces clip onto your belt loops, so they suit jeans, chinos and cords. Technical details states which fastening each pair uses.
Set the sliders so your trousers sit at your natural waist and the back of the braces rests between the shoulder blades. Wear them without a belt.
Elastic webbing: spot clean, or hand wash cool and dry flat away from heat. Do not iron the elastic.
Leather and faux leather: wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it dry naturally.
Store them loosely coiled rather than hanging, so the elastic keeps its spring.

Our pieces, out in the real world.
In 1924, our grandfather, Albert Whitley, opened a small outfitter’s shop in Yorkshire. Our father, Henry, carried it forward. Today, we continue the family business with the same belief: good materials, useful things and pieces made to be worn for years.
The counter may now be a website, but the standard remains much the same. Old craft. Modern wear.
It is best not to. Braces do the belt’s job and look tidiest on their own; wearing both adds bulk at the waist. Hook braces clip onto the belt loops themselves, so leave the belt off.
Yes. Braces, bow ties and ties in matching colours make simple groomsmen sets. If you need several identical pieces, write to us before ordering and we will confirm availability.
Ties: once knotted, the tip should just touch your belt buckle; match the blade width to your lapels. Bow ties: most are pre-tied on an adjustable strap that fits most collars. Braces: clip-on styles grip the waistband of any trousers, while hook styles clip onto your belt loops, which suits jeans, chinos and cords. Dimensions are listed under Technical details.
Untie a tie by reversing the knot, then hang it or roll it loosely; knitted ties are best rolled. Store bow ties flat. Coil braces loosely rather than hanging them, so the elastic keeps its spring.
