TRAFALGAR LIMITED EDITION BRACES
All Braces
MSRP: $195
Unless Otherwise Noted
Wearing the conversational braces pictured inside is, without question, a most discreet
and elegant manner of expressing one’s dash, style, and sense of humor. Many of these
hand-loomed silk braces have already established themselves as collectible and wearable works
of art. In fact, there have been numerous gentlemen willing to purchase braces from early
sold-out editions for several times their original worth. Some notable and celebrated individuals
wore the originals, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Benjamin Disraeli, and Oscar Wilde.
Recent limited editions of these braces are enjoyed by a diverse and worldly group of
aficionados–from royalty to rock stars, Supreme Court justices, film directors, sports heroes,
diplomats, novelists, and adventurers. Pick a pair that suits your fancy. Wear them with your
casual, business, or evening attire and enjoy the wonderful new dimension they bring to your
life. But beware! If not already a devotee, you may soon find yourself collecting these
timeless braces.
The intricate designs seen in these pages are woven using only the finest denier silk yarns.
Yarns that are so very delicate, they could not be used on today’s high speed looms. In the
early 1970’s the founder of Trafalgar discovered eight disassembled 200 year-old wooden looms
in an abandoned European carriage house. Originally built like fine pianos each loom was
re-built and refurbished over a two- year period. Today, one of Europe’s finest weavers is
producing these brace fabrics in limited editions, in part, because even the most skilled
craftsmen can only weave five yards of narrow silk fabric a day.
The artistic and sometimes whimsical designs of the Limited Edition braces come from
a variety of sources. Many have been generously loaned for reproduction by collectors, some
of whom were members of the original “International Society of Brace Collectors.” Over
twenty- five are faithful reproductions of pre-WWII New York City haberdasher, Calvin Curtiswho designed eccentric, often humorous braces for influential men of the period. He created
America Hurrah for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the early 1940’s.
