[Frank Manning]

[qbman1]

[Stephen]

An old f*rt, yes, but not hogwash

Is hogwash the common man's term for a Gadarene swine shower?

How about gentleman's braces standing in the complicated dress code

I prefer them to a belt and have an interesting collection purchased whilst enjoying the USA

I have had several raised eyebrows/comments in various UK establishments, but never in a 'Spoons emporium

[Manoverboard]

On a cruise or a land based Formal I always wear M&S's wide black braces else bright red ones for New Years Eve .... so there !!

Yankee braces are to die for, not only are they oh so colourful widees

Extremely high quality and amazingly inexpensive

I had a birthday box from P C Penny for peanuts, just cuz I purchased a well tailored three piece suit, still looks good

I dress to the left - just that little extra cloth to keep "things" in place

BTW Have you had snow yet in the hinterland of North Dorset ?

Lubooo lots

SNOW ?????



Thinking about it ... I did once get a very wide pair of braces with tractors on them for a Christmas present form a little feller aged about 6

You can wear whatever braces you like because they should never be seen. Normally they would be covered by the waistcoat. A belt is strictly a no-no as indeed are belt loops.

Yes, it's all a load of Hogwarts.

if ones DJ is tailored and not some cheap of the peg job from M&S or Matalan, you don't need braces or a belt
as it fits properly

That depends on one's hips. Or lack of them.

Not strictly true.

If you have a tailored evening suit with "proper" dress trousers then you will HAVE to wear braces

[Dark Knight]

would disagree Smurfy

mine doesn't need braces or anything else to keep up the trousers, as it fits properly

So what happens at the end of the cruise when you are two sizes larger ?

[Dark Knight]

I adjust the buttons on the side of the trousers that expand the waist?

doesn't everyone?

They should come up to your belly button.

[Dark Knight]

up to your belly button?

jeez do you have a red nose and big shoes to go with the trousers?
