OR WOT!

Boa Brummell braces

Price £275.00

Designed by StyleCurious featured Mark H for ORWOT! Ltd, these braces are made in association with Albert Thurston of Leicester, the oldest braces manufacturer in the world, (as worn by Gordon Gekko in Wall Street and 007 in the James Bond films). The body of the braces is woven watered silk, from the same supplier that made medal ribbon for King James II. The snake is hand embroidered in gold or silver wire by craftspeople who have worked for the last eight Kings and Queens of England. The snake eyes come in a either amethyst, blue topaz or garnet and are set in yellow or white 9 ct gold. Please note that these braces adjust at the back only and are ergonomically designed to help you stand up straight! They are covered in knitted elastic leopard skin and come with either leather ends for buttons or clips. The two clips supplied for the front have an engraved horse head, surrounded by a horse shoe (originally designed for the Aga Khan’s 21st birthday) and there's an ORWOT! clip for the back of the braces. Apart from these clips (made in Paris by a supplier who works for Hermes and Gucci), everything is made in England. Made to order only, and available in men’s and women’s sizes - see options below. Please measure from shoulder blade, over the shoulder to waist - if you cant find a tape measure we’ll send you a bit of string - just cut to the required length and send it back to us. Please allow 14 days for delivery.

Such beautifully made braces! The ladies’ version has slightly different lining, with delicately frayed edges to the silk moiré (see the photo 4). Very striking and dramatic as as day or evening wear - and the perfect colour for funerals – fitting, as each of these items comes in its own Last Will and Testament envelope, coutesy of Shaw and Sons, stationers since 1750. Consider this an investment in the future of quality craftsmanship and our Great British manufacturing industry: let's help keep it alive!
