Curious fact - braces are commonly measured in inches. Most braces you buy in stores are a size 48 (which means they are 48 inches or 122 cm when they are at maximum length).
Many of our braces are available in bigger sizes
Fitting braces is not an exact science and is very much dependent on the upper body size of the wearer. It is more about how high your waistband is (and sometimes how big your tummy is) than how tall you are.
The following sizes are a guide and different manufacturers offer different sizes. If in doubt we recommend getting out an old school tape measure! (If you don't have a flexible tape measure, use a piece of string and measure that against a rigid tape measure).
Measure from the top of the trousers in the back where the suspenders will attach, diagonally up over the opposite shoulder and down to the point where the suspenders will attach to the trousers in the front.
The brace sizes listed below are when fully extended. If your measurement is close but you prefer to have your size adjusters higher up on your body, go for a bigger size, because when fully extended the size adjuster will be close to the waistband.
Our name may be Mens Braces Australia, but our braces are equally suited to the female wearer too.
