gentlemen:

does anyone happen to know of a good source for plain navy barathea braces of a quality level similar to thurstons? for some reason, it appears from the thurstons web site that plain navy barathea is not one of their offerings. I would be interested in any online sources you might be able to recommend, as well as brick-and-mortar sources in new york city or london.

many thanks in advance.

gherrmann,
About 6 weeks ago I ordered these braces in navy from Bromley's UK. This firm carries braces from Thurston and my understanding was that this item would be an order that I would have to wait a while for. Although I have not yet recieved them, I did get a message yesterday saying that the order had been dispatched. I should be able to update you next week.

gherrmann,
Sure enough, I just checked the Bromleys UK site and my exact braces are there. Looks like they ordered for both of us.
