Having sadly put on more weight I finally decided to buy a new pair of braces to hold my leather motorcycle trousers up. My previous pair from another a motorcycle specific company had proven to be not very good as the elasticity did not last very long. So searching the Net I came across BB and given the description & more than reasonable price I decided to buy a pair of braces from them. They arrived very promptly and look to be well made & of very good quality. I,ve used them a few times now and been happy with them. Time will tell if they last longer than the pair I am replacing but given the quality of them I am convinced that they will. Thanks BB and if I dont lose weight I,ll be back for a pair to hold my normal trousers up.
