FHB Bodo Button Braces – 4 cm Wide

FHB Bodo are traditional braces for trousers with brace buttons. The 4 cm wide elastic straps spread the weight of your trousers over a larger area of your shoulders, while leather tabs attach to the waistband. A practical choice if you prefer to keep your trousers in place with braces rather than tightening a belt around your waist.

Wide straps for carrying comfort

When braces carry the weight of your trousers and the contents of your pockets, your shoulders take the load. Strap width matters here: The 4 cm wide straps spread the pressure over a larger area than narrow brace straps, making the load less concentrated. This contributes to comfort, particularly when wearing the braces for longer periods.

The straps are elastic and meet in a Y-shape at the back, with a genuine leather joining piece.

Leather button fastenings

Bodo have leather tabs with buttonholes for your trousers' brace buttons. You will therefore need trousers with suitably positioned buttons on the waistband.

The braces fit FHB Anton guild trousers and FHB Karl-Heinz corduroy guild trousers, both of which have brace buttons. They can also be worn with other trousers with compatible button fastenings.

Continuously adjustable up to 120 cm

The steel buckles make it easy to adjust the length so that your trousers sit at your preferred height. Adjust the braces to support your trousers without pulling unnecessarily on your shoulders.

The maximum length is 120 cm. The length you need depends on both your build and the height of your trousers' waistband.

Choose the right fastening and width

If your trousers do not have brace buttons, FHB Achim with 4 cm wide straps and four steel clips are an alternative. The clips attach directly to the waistband.

If you would like wider straps over your shoulders or extra length, choose FHB Sönke with 5 cm wide straps and a maximum length of 140 cm. Sönke also attach with four steel clips.

Materials and care

The straps are made from 78% polyester and 22% elastodiene. The button tabs and joining piece at the back are genuine leather.

We recommend washing the braces in a laundry bag to protect both the buckles and your washing machine. Always follow the product's care instructions.
