I like braces - I never wear them except with my tuxedo but I like them! Indeed, I have a few pairs of trousers with side tabs and I need to get around to getting buttons for braces sewn in. The tabs are decent for holding the trousers but not as good as a belt. And for dancing braces are wonderful - they will keep your trousers up.

Don't know anything about the 14000. And it's hard to go wrong with Canali. I only have maybe one piece at present but they make a very nice garment at a decent price point.

Congratulations.
I agree with SG_67
