strips attached to the waistcoat shoulders and to the front breeches. This
is 1766.

Was it you asking about braces? I found information accidentally
while looking for something else. Earliest form of braces appears to
be 1780's for gentlemen's breeches, usually just ribbon. I can quote
exactly if you wish - book and computer are a whole floor apart and I
am too lazy to go up and get the book! (It's a guide to where costume
items can be found in the U.K. - "A Guide to Historic Costume?"
Yes that was me. Please. Whenever is convenient for you would be fine.
I'm thinking the least complex guess is going to be a pair of fabric tapes
with button holes, and attach some buttons to the breeches. But I'd like
to actually *know*, if such a thing is possible.
Marc
