Going Regimental?

Oic. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. It was actually a very clever solution. His tailor gets props from me for thinking outside the box.

Maybe not all that outside the box. Remember that elasticated waistbands appeared only in the 1920s. Prior to that, if drawers were not part of some kind of "union suit", they had loops at waist level through which the then ubiquitous braces (?=US "suspenders", Scots=galluses) that held up the breeks were passed. This style was still around in my young day (1940s). Thus it was that shirt tails always had to be "tucked in"!
