Hi - I have many pairs of braces (Suspenders) that are all clip on that came with the leather tabs to allow them to be fixed to trousers with buttons. Unfortunately at the time I didn't have any trousers with the buttons so I foolishly disposed of the leather tabs as I wouldn't be using them. Does anybody know where I can buy these as I don't want to replace every pair of braces just to get the tabs.

PS - sorry if tabs is the wrong term - I'm not really sure what they are called - but I mean the bit of leather that connects the braces to the trouses.

Hope someone can help.

You might try contacting a high-end retailer of braces, and see if someone there will have mercy upon you and tell you how to contact the manufacturer to ask if they can supply you with them.

We make a lot of braces for the Dog Breed Collection that we offer on our web site. Although we offer both button and clip attachments, our customers opt for the button attachments for 19 out of every 20 pair we sell. We can sell you the kips in either brown or black leather. If you don't make it to this side of the Atlantic, shipping by insured priority mail will run about $27.

We can sell you the kips and the joiners you need to attach them to your braces. (They are not listed on our web site.) we can ship quite a few pairs in the flat rate Priority Mail service provided by the USPS. The cost for the flat rate parcel is $13. It is NOT insured.
To ship a parcel insured will cost about $26.

Thanks to you all for your replies. I ended up contacting www.albertthurston.com who was recommended by 'Sir Royston' - who are based in Leicester, UK - which is only 40 miles away from where I like. They have been most helpful - as you all have - and are able to supply locally.

Thanks again to you all.
