What are these braces made from?
The braces are made from cotton webbing and thick leather tabs. The fittings are metal. The cotton straps appear strong, and the leather is thick.
How do these braces adjust?
The braces are adjustable and long enough to fit everyone. Adjusting them can be difficult, and the metal slides are roughly finished. The sheet-metal blades inside the slides are crude and sharp, and can draw blood.
Are these braces elasticated?
These braces are non-elastic. This means care is needed not to lose buttons from trousers when sitting down. The leather for the buttons is thick and can cause breakages.
What is the historical period for these braces?
These are reproduction British Army WWI and WWII style trouser braces. They are not the same as the WWII pattern commonly known as 'Police & Firemen' pattern. They are suitable for reenacting British Army.
What is the quality of the metal fittings?
The metal fittings are generally of good quality, but some may need dressing with a file due to sharp edges. The buckles are just OK. The metal slides are roughly finished and can be sharp.
How do these braces compare to original items?
These braces have some of the same weaving flaws as on originals. The tips are somewhat rougher with deformities or tool marks from hand working. With better tip work, the issue would be less obvious.
