What braces for leather trousers?

[Smooth]

I picked up a pair of used FT leather pants. They're comfortable, fit very snugly around the legs and are gradually breaking-in to my large-thigh'd shape, but the previous owner was presumably a little bit bigger around the middle.

The options are to have them taken-in a bit (I may add a bit of extra foam to the hips which will probably take up the room) or wear some braces.
Is there anything wrong with generic elastic braces or are heavy-duty 'motorbike braces' required?

Bit o' rope should do the job.

Would steel cable be better?

What a question...? Surely braces are braces...!?!? Though clearly not to be mistaken with the variety orthondontists use...

im in a similar position, i reckon non-elastic braces would be better

i missed bidding on some non elastic ones on ebay

most seem to be elastic

Even wearing heavy and soggy C/S trousers. And they're elastic.

Its impossible to make a considered choice with that last picture, as the bloke still has his trousers on.

I have a pair of these:

And I can't fault them. My Dad used them for a few years before he sold his bike which is when I nabbed them and they've been great, nice and comfy too.

Are you taking the piss. Nobody in there right mind should be wearing braces in this day and age except the old man up the street who has an unhealthy obsession with watch internals. The only other person who can wear them is bobby ball. Whats wrong with a belt.

A belt creates an uneven distribution of material, known in the trade as 'a gather'

Oh God, I came into this forum cos they were posting pix of Big Macs in Random Banter and I'm too lazy to get in the car and go get one.

Now look at that pie!!
I want its babies.

OT ^^^ it does have a fine looking crusty pastry top to it. Yet the insides of a tin of Chappie.
Now go and have a bowl of muesli to put you on.
