Where can you buy decent braces. « Posted: 23 September 2011 at 01:50 PM »
Can anyone direct me to a shop that sells decent braces?. All I've found so far have been these ruddy chinese made things that keep pinging off everytime I bend down and where the elastic ends up looking like a shoe lace after a while.
I really want some like you see on "Cops" I guess there's aren't made in China because they'd be chasing the 'perps' with one hand holding a gun and the other holding their trousers up if they were.

 What about the clothing shop in Bevan Street next to the Cafe Mango?  They seem to have a wide range of goods.

Coes moved some time ago to the corner of Clapham Road/Bevan Street - in the building that was The Clapham Arms PH.  The shop I was referring to sells a wide range of clothing including for the Catering Industry, etc.

Marks & Sparks also do braces. I would imagine they sell decent stuff.

Do people REALLY still remember braces?  Is this another OS wind-up?

Coes in Clapen road where I bought a pair this week. A good selection but may be a bit pricey. Some times a belt isn't just good enough and can be uncomfortable. I bought a pair mainly for wearing with my dress suit because they don't have belts on the trousers.

If you pay a bit more OS will get the quality he is looking for.

Coes as advised.
I'll have to stop stuffing spanners and things in my pockets to give them an easier life but they look far stronger than the other things.
It wasn't a wind up I find belts uncomfortable although that probably hasn't been helped by the increase in my circumference since I gave up a very heavy smoking habit some years back.
