A stiffener or two (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brace

I believe this is a double definition.

'a stiffener' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'two' is the second definition.
(brace can mean two of something)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for brace that I've seen before include "Secure" , "Stanchion" , "Support - couple" , "Pair; hand drill" , "Two - supporter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
