Separate names with a comma.
"I see a middle-aged man in shorts and I see a man who has not accepted the full role of adulthood." - That is abuse. Of me. I wear shorts, I'm...
I love how everyone says "I respect your opinion" before heaping abuse on shorts-wearers, as if that makes it OK. It's not OK - I am a grown-up, I...
I wear shorts a lot in summer. Those who say that grownups don't wear shorts are very much in the wrong. When it gets hot enough, only a fool...
I'm in Australia. The Wranglers I bought were from a local eBay reseller, and cost me less than AUD$50 including postage. Which is a little over...
I have a pair of those, for affordable jeans they are absolutely the best deal around. Very nice cut, legs not too loose or too tight, waistband...
I have two pairs of Darcy corduroy trousers and a pair of the black denim trousers. The quality is excellent on all three. The legs don't seem...
I have a pair of Darcy black denim trousers, and a couple of pair of their corduroy trousers. They're great, and relatively affordable. You can...
Interesting (to me) that a couple of them are wearing knee-length puttees; by the 40s most armies had switched to gaiters and those still wearing...

With new braces, the more expensive/upmarket ones often come in sizes, the cheaper ones usually don't. However, as noted upthread, a lot depends...
Bundeswehr (German Army) braces The first set are an unsatisfactory design; the one-piece leather button-straps on the front simply don't sit...
Some interesting braces pics on this page: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/northernforties/NForties%20Clothing/5ba%20-%20Mens%20Braces.htm
I haven't tried any, yet. I'd expect that Vees would work best on high-waist trousers - and if you've reduced the rear strap of the Y to a stub,...
Post pics, please. This thread needs more pics.
By the way, before the 1960s, it was not uncommon for braces to be V shaped, not Y shaped. Example 1, UK army: [IMG] Example 2, West German...
You're very welcome, bombin. Glad I could assist. You can shorten the front straps too if you feel the need for it. You have to be extra...
I took a couple of quick photos... [IMG] The two on the left show my shortened elastic sections, and my messy but serviceable sewing. You can...
Yes, it's done by machine on most of the ones I've seen. I don't have a sewing machine (and I'd have to learn how to use it if I did) but I see no...
If you can do basic hand-sewing, it's very easy. If the rear strap of the Y is attached to a metal loop, just cut the elastic off the loop,...
Check page 28 of this thread and you'll see pictures of braces that I customised to work better with high-back trousers. Post 276 is the one to...
