A classic black ground scattered with small white pin dots, woven into a 35mm elastic web. Wide enough to sit comfortably across the shoulder without drawing attention to itself, and quiet enough to wear under a dark jacket all day.

The webbing runs to four silver-toned clips with toothed jaws that grip the waistband, so no buttons are needed inside the trouser. Silver-toned adjusters on each strap set the length, and the back joins in the usual Y.

• 35mm elastic webbing in black with white pin dots

Clip braces suit trousers that have no brace buttons fitted, which covers most ready-made suits and separates. They arrive in a presentation gift box, which makes them an easy thing to hand over on a wedding morning.
