The British Belt Company - bravely bringing back British braces

Monday, 15 September 2014

The British Belt Company is part of Arnold Willis & Co, based in Rutland since 1946 and still family-owned. Naturally they make beautiful leather belts, but for this post I was interested in the colourful range of English-made braces, which are made in their factory in Uppingham.


Braces aren't seen as frequently as in days of yore, but, with their colour and comfort, particularly for those who find the constriction of belts uncomfortable, they're making something of a comeback.

Each pair of braces comes with an interchangeable metal clip and leather fastening (with buttons for attaching them to your trousers) and this month they're introducing a new silk collection which will be available online. There's a huge range of colours and designs; see The British Belt Company for more information. They also have a range of luggage.
