In regards to buttoned braces versus clip-on, it's really more of a preference.  Salva wouldn't cut a pair of pants different for clip-on vs. button-in.  And as someone that enjoys their pants slightly below their chin, I can attest to the ease and comfort of clip-ons (Although I do wear both).  They are easier to get on and off, offer a wider range of movement, and are usually cut with a double back piece.


I'm persuaded - from now on, I'm going to wear one of these with my bespoke shirts:

It's fast, it's easy, it's quick to get on and off, and you get the perfect knot every time!!

Anyway, with regard to clip-on braces, I suppose that we're just going to have to disagree. I simply fail to understand why someone would go to the trouble and expense of getting a pair of bespoke trousers that cost $1000 or more at full retail, and then wear them with an accessory that looks (to me, at least) as though it came from Men's Wearhouse.

The clip-on tie doesn't have the ease and comfort of these:

And then afterwards when you're invited to the afterparty, just easily and comfortably change into this:

Good God, this thread is like watching an episode of Frasier.

If you don't like his pants great. If you do like his pants, great.

No one needs to behave childish by mocking others.

Don't think I haven't noticed all the posters pretending ironically to not notice how cool it is to wear something not-cool ironically.


Not at this price and the length of time it takes to receive them...

It looks like Jean Paul Gaultier's sailor pants version at least would stay up when taking a p... as it has a separate waistband
