Description

Few man’s garments have made as many appearances in different times of history as suspenders. Known as “braces” in British English, suspenders have been around for centuries; at the time of Louis XIV, Frenchmen would tie straps of cloth to their undergarments to hold them up and in Britain braces made their commercial debut in 1820, when Albert Thurston started manufacturing suspenders as we know them today. Made in leather, Thurston’s product had the function to support the pants but, as at that time suspenders were considered underwear, it was indecent to shown them in public. It is only since the 20th century that suspenders have become a visible garment, turning at times into the symbol of elegance and style, at times into the emblem of a social class or attitude. Pic.
