- Do these braces clip on or button on?
- They are button-end braces. The leather ends button onto buttons sewn inside the waistband of your trousers, so they need trousers with brace buttons.
- What if my trousers have no brace buttons?
- Balint sells a separate set of movable no-sew button-end clips that attach buttons to trousers without sewing. The braces themselves do not include them.
- How wide are they compared with other braces?
- They measure 38mm, about 1.5 inches. That is wider than common 25mm braces, so they read as more traditional and sit more firmly on the shoulder.
- Are they stretchy?
- No. The grosgrain ribbon is non-stretch, so the braces hold a fixed length and keep their tension rather than flexing with you.
- What are they made of?
- Striped grosgrain ribbon with a full-grain leather back patch and leather button ends, made in the United States.
- What can I wear them with?
- Dress pants, khakis and jeans all work. The striped patterns lean casual, so they pair more easily with sport coats and everyday trousers than with a formal suit.
