There's usually and open space or just some kind of overlap (not
usually) below the waist closure at the center button, and the fall
flap comes up to overlap in front. Look at breeches patterns from
about 1830 back. I suppose that flap is just kind of a development of
the codpiece. Breeches didn't have a separate waist band, but a lot
of military overalls did. Funny thing when civilians started wearing
them and overalls branched off into becoming pantaloons and trousers,
the waistbands went away. Military overalls and civilian work
overalls continued with the separate waistband, just as we see on
blue jeans and combat fatigues today.

What should be then under the fall? Buttons? I have no idea...
