01
Formal braces
Dress braces for formalwear, where the fitting style, the width and the restraint of the hardware do most of the talking. Material and fitting direction are agreed per project.
Braces & ties
Accessories
beyond the belt.
Braces and ties are finished products in their own right, not belt offcuts with different hardware.
Northvale manufactures braces and ties for formal, fashion, uniform, retail and private-label requirements. Material composition, fittings, construction and branding are confirmed against each individual project rather than assumed from a house standard.

01 Braces
A vertical product with its own construction logic.
A brace is a system rather than a strip: the elastic supplies the give, the fittings carry the load, and the ends decide how the whole thing reads when worn. Those three elements have to be specified together, because changing one changes how the others behave.
Northvale produces braces using elastic, hardware fittings and leather or textile ends in the widths, colours and finishes agreed for the project. No material composition, stretch specification or load rating is published on this website — those are confirmed against the materials actually selected for your production.
Elastic → fittings → ends → finished brace
02
Fashion braces
Brace production for fashion ranges, where colour, width and hardware finish are used deliberately as part of a collection rather than treated as a fixed standard.
03
Uniform braces
Braces produced against a commercial uniform requirement, where the priority is a specification that can be agreed once and supplied again consistently.
04
Private-label braces
Customer-branded braces produced to your specification, with any branding applied in an agreed position using artwork you have approved.
Private label
02 Ties
A finished accessory, cut clean.
Ties are produced for formal, fashion, uniform, retail and private-label requirements. Fabric direction, construction and finishing are agreed per project, and any branding — a woven or applied mark, a keeper detail, presentation — is confirmed before production rather than added afterwards.
As with braces, no fabric composition, weight or construction standard is published here. Those details belong to a specification written for a specific range, using materials that have been confirmed as available for it.
01
Formal ties
Ties for formal and business ranges, produced to the construction and finish agreed for the project rather than from a fixed house pattern.
02
Fashion ties
Tie production for fashion labels where the fabric direction, proportion and finishing are part of a wider collection decision.
03
Uniform ties
Ties produced against uniform requirements, where consistency across a programme and the ability to resupply matter more than seasonal change.
04
Retail & private label
Ties produced for retail ranges and under customer labels, with branding and presentation agreed before production begins.
Private label03 Context
Accessories that sit together.
Braces and ties are frequently specified alongside belts as part of one range, using a shared material direction and a consistent hardware reading so the group reads as a family.
