We like to think that suspenders, or braces, can spend as much time down as they do up - maybe even 50% of the time. This is partly because we like the idea of these types of accessories to be considered casual if you feel like it.

As with all our goods, you can find them online and in good shops.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people... one of us recently encountered one of those bad things and long story short, we will now be using a cane for the next little while. You never think you're going to need to buy a cane, until you do, and then you learn a thing or two about the poor design of most of the sticks out there. Full disclosure, we knew one of the members of Top & Derby previously, had been vey impressed with their operation, but were in no need for their product until now.
